Adams, Henry

A well known writer and historian, Henry Adams was born in 1838 and attended Harvard University, where this photo was taken in 1858. A Generation 9 descendant of Elizabeth Tilley and John Howland via his mother, Abigail (Brooks) Adams, he was also a Generation 8/9 descendant of the Alden-Mullins family via the Adams clan. He was a brother of Brooks Adams, below. Image courtesy the National Park Service.

Adams, Peter Chardon Brooks

Known as Brooks Adams, he was an Alden-Mullins descendant through his paternal line, the Adams family of Quincy, Massachusetts, but via his mother Abigail Brown (Brooks) Adams, below, he was a Generation 9 descendant of pilgrims John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley via daughter Desire (Howland) Gorham and thus Generation 10 from pilgrims John and Joan Tilley. This photo was taken in 1910, when he was 62. Image reprinted here courtesy of the National Park Service.

ALLEN, BETSY

​Sister of Joseph, Oliver, and Rufus, all below, Betsy (1803-1887) was born in MA but lived most of her life in Vermont as the wife of Levi Marsh. She was the mother of 9 children, 8 of whom lived to adulthood and produced numerous grandchildren & great grandchildren of varying surnames. Half the town of Newfane, VT is probably related. Two were sons, but the rest were daughters so be on the lookout for the surnames White, Chase, Moore, Culver, Graves, Hammond, and Wells in addition to Marsh. Betsy was also a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley as follows: Robert Allen, Joseph Allen, Mercy (Skiff) (Coffin) Allen, Mercy (Chipman) Skiff, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland, Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley, all 4 of the Mayflower. Image and info on her and descendants from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), p. 58-61, digitized by the Library of Congress. Sharper scans of everyone in this book would be appreciated if you have access to a hard copy.

ALLEN, JANE FRANCES

A Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley, Jane (b. 1839, Palmyra, NY) made things challenging for genealogists. She married a Canadian and three of her children who lived to adulthood scattered and did not all have the same surname: James Edward Curran of Chicago (b. 1877); Flora Augusta (Curran) Platz of Kansas City, MO (b. 1874), and Ida Bell Curran (b 1881, possibly living in NY, and possibly since married.) Jane's line runs: Joseph Allen, Joseph, Joseph, Mercy (Skiff) (Coffin) Allen, Mercy (Chipman) Skiff, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland, Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents, all 4 of the Mayflower. She is a distant cousin of the Allens below. Image and info from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), p. 25-26, 31-32, 40-41, 54, 61, digitized by the Library of Congress. Jane would love someone to photograph or scan the hardcover version of this book to provide a better image than this digitized one.

ALLEN, JOSEPH

Brother of Rufus & Oliver Allen, below, and Betsy, above, Joseph (1797-1875) was likewise a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley. See Rufus's writeup for the lineage. His two wives were sisters and he resided in both NY and VT, so look for descendants there. See cousin Eliza Brown for more info on sources. According to the book from which this image was taken, Joseph had 7 children but only 3 (Heman, Hannibal, and George Henry Allen) produced grandchildren. Image and info from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), p. 25-26, 31-32, 41-42, 57-58, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALLEN, OLIVER

A brother of Joseph & Betsy (above) and Rufus (below), Oliver (1792-1852) was a deacon in the Baptist church in Vermont. He had 11 children with his wife, Nancy Sarah Sweetland, whose parents were reported to be John & Sarah Sweetland, with John said to have been a Revolutionary soldier. If you are Oliver and Nancy's descendant you would be eligible for the DAR and SAR if you could prove John's service and line yourself to him with vital records from VT & NH. Oliver is also a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley. See Rufus's writeup for the lineage. Image and info from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), p. 25-26, 31-32, 41-42, 55-56, digitized by the Library of Congress. If you have access to a print copy of this book and can scan a sharper image of Oliver for me he would sure appreciate it.

ALLEN, RUFUS

A teacher-shoemaker, Rufus Allen (1787-1879) was a brother of Joseph, Oliver, & Betsy, above, and also a cousin of Eliza Brown (below) and thus a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley descendant. His line runs: Robert Allen, Joseph Allen, Mercy (Skiff) (Coffin) Allen, Mercy (Chipman) Skiff, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland, Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley, all 4 of the Mayflower. He was also great-grandfather of Thomas Cyprian Frenyear, below. Image and info from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), p. 25-26, 31-32, 41-42, 54, digitized by the Library of Congress.

ALLEN, SARAH AUGUSTA

Sarah Augusta (Allen) Stoddard was a Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a niece of Rufus & Joseph Allen, above, by their youngest brother Robert, b. 1805. Thomas C. Frenyear, below, was a first cousin twice removed. She was born and died in VT (1846-1905) and did leave children behind, so there may be Stoddard descendants there. Her line would run: Robert Allen, Robert, Joseph, Mercy (Skiff) (Coffin) Allen, Mercy (Chipman) Skiff, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus Elizabeth's parents. Image and info from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), pp. 25-26, 31-32, 41-42, 61, 86-87 digitized by the Library of Congress.

Babbitt, Adeline Lavinia

Adeline (Babbitt) Browne (1815-1888), daughter of Jael Edson (below) and Dr. Snell Babbitt of Massachusetts, and sister of Nathan Snell Babbitt, below, was a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley and Alden-Mullins descendant and a Gen 7 Soule and Doty descendant, all on her mother's side. Jael's descent is detailed in the relevant GSMD Silver and Pink books. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A. Hack & Son, 1912), p. 344, scanned at the Library of Congress.

Babbitt, Nathan Snell

Dr. Nathan S. Babbitt (1812-1889), son of Jael Edson (below) and Dr. Snell Babbitt of Massachusetts, and brother of Adeline Lavinia (Babbitt) Browne, above, was a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley and Alden-Mullins descendant, and a Gen 7 Soule and Doty descendant on her mother's side, as detailed in the relevant GSMD Silver and Pink books. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A. Hack & Son, 1912), p. 344, scanned at the Library of Congress.

BENNETT, ARCHIE COLLAMORE

Archie Bennett and several of his Collamore cousins assisted in the compilation of the book from which this image was taken. His Gen. 11 Howland-Tilley line runs: Katherine Maria (Collamore) Bennett, William Anson Collamore, Barker Collamore, Marcy (Barker) Collamore, Mary (Green [aka Neal]) Barker, Desire (Bacon) Green, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Doty Silver Book gets as far as the marriage of Barker Collamore to Sally Anthony and it was through Barker's mother Marcy (Barker) Collamore that Archie came by his Howland-Tilley and Warren genes. The Howland book gets only as far as the birth of her mother, Mary and only the Warren book mentions that Mary (Green) Barker was called "Mary Neal" in the Scituate records. (Her father's will called her Mary "Barker.") Via Barker's father Anthony Collamore, Jr. Archie was a Doty. Remaining generations can be found in vital records. See the other writeups for those lineages. Image and info from Charles Hatch, Genealogy of the Descendants of Anthony Collamer of Scituate, Massachusetts (Salem: Newcomb & Gauss, 1915), pp. 3-4, 57, 58, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

BIGELOW, HORACE PORTER

See the Warren writeup for details on how I ascertained Horace's Mayflower lines and also the Brewster section for that line. His Gen 9/10 Howland-Tilley line runs: Horace Bigelow, Otis, Otis, Dorothy (Otis) Bigelow, Hannah (Thacher) Otis, Lydia (Gorham) Thacher, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (plus her parents), all 4 of the Mayflower. John Howland of the Mayflower Vol. 1 (Gorham) does the best job of linking with the books cited below, as they get you to the birth of Horace's great-grandfather Otis Bigelow. Verifiable info on a supposed Alden-Mullins line would be appreciated. Image & some info from History of Oneida County, New York, from 1700 to the Present Time, Vol. II (Chicago: Clarke, 1912), pp. 636-40, digitized by the NY Public Libraries & from Gilman Bigelow Howe, The Genealogy of the Bigelow Family of America, from the Marriage in 1642 of John Biglo and Mary Warren to the Year 1890 (Worcester: Hamilton, 1890), pp. 140, 257-58, 385, 455, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library.

BLAKE, GEORGE BATY

Like the source book for info on Harrison Blake, below, George's family also had a tradition of being descended from Gov. Carver and made no mention of the Howlands, Tilleys, or Warrens. However, those are his Mayflower lines; John Carver left no known descendants. The Hope Chipman volume of John Howland of the Mayflower takes this line as far as the birth of George's father, while the Warren silver books leave off with his grandmother Deborah. The book from which this image comes gives 4 pages of detail about George's life and relatives but there is scant data on the NEHGS for this family in Vermont so you will have to gather documents to prove this line. The paper trail should be quite good, though. George's Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley line runs: John Welland Blake, Deborah (Smith) Blake, Bethiah (Chipman) Smith, John Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & the Tilley family, all of the Mayflower. See his Warren writeup for that line. Image & some info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), pp. 883-6, digitized by the Library of Congress. Based on neckwear and hairstyle I estimate this image to have been made in his mid-late thirties.

BLAKE, HARRISON

A Generation 8/9 Howland-Tilley descendant, Harrison was born in Turner, ME in 1805 and lived much of his adult life in that state; marrying, having children, and serving in the legislature. However, if you find him or a descendant in Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, or New Brunswick, NJ, that is the same Harrison Blake. This was written while I was traveling, so my sources were originally the book from which this image was taken, the web site Alden Kindred, and the NEHGS site. (Harrison is also twice a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins. See his writeup there for details.) The book from which this image was taken claims a line of descent from Gov. John Carver, via an alleged daughter Elizabeth, who married "John Tillery," whose daughter "Elizabeth Tillery" married John Howland. Carver left no descendants and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland's mother was Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley. However, except for the fictional Carver link, the Howland-Tilley line is correct, via Harrison's father: Grinfill Blake, Samuel Blake, Desire (Crocker) Blake, Desire (Thatcher) Crocker, Desire (Gorham) Thatcher, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Samuel Blake's birth and move to Turner, ME were in John Howland of the Mayflower, vol. 1, so this line did check out. Image and info from Alphonso Moulton, et al., Centennial History of Harrison, Maine (Portland: Town of Harrison, 1909), pp. 346-7, 349, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BLAKE, SILAS

Uncle of Harrison Blake, above, Dr. Silas Blake was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley descendant and also twice an Alden-Mullins. (See that writeup for the lineages.) Silas (1785-1851) was a younger brother of Harrison's father Grinfill and in addition to his work as a physician the author states that he was a member of the state legislature so that might be a photo source. Silas's Howland-Tilley line would run: Samuel Blake, Desire (Crocker) Blake, Desire (Thatcher) Crocker, Desire (Gorham) Thatcher, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image and info from Alphonso Moulton, et al., Centennial History of Harrison, Maine (Portland: Town of Harrison, 1909), pp. 349-352, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BRADFORD, JOEL PACKARD

This photo of Joel (b. 1873) and those of father Philip and his father's cousin William (below) are from the same book. Joel was said to have been a Gen. 9 Bradford and his paternal great-grandfather, Oliver Bradford, married Sarah Chipman, a Howland-Tilley descendant but of which generation was she? My first guess was Gen 6 and that seems to be correct. A search of the NEHGS online holdings revealed the marriage of Oliver (the first Bradford of this line to move to Acushnet) and Sarah "Sally" Chipman in Plympton in 1782. Possibly she was the Sarah born in Kingston to Benjamin and Hannah Chipman in 1759? A Benjamin born there in 1729 was the son of a Seth and Priscilla and Oliver and Sarah named their first son, Joel's grandfather, Seth. (The "Priscilla" hinted at a possible Alden-Mullins link.) A look at the blue Howland book, Vol. 3, though, reveals that Benjamin moved to Oxford Co., ME, where his widow & several adult children eventually died. Nothing in the book linked his daughter Sarah, b. 1759, to Plympton. However, he had an older brother Seth, who adds to the reasons for Oliver and Sarah naming a child Seth, and that Seth's mother was, naturally, the same Priscllla. Seth is a better fit, as he died young and broke, leaving his widow Sarah Ripley dependent on the help of her father William Ripley of Plympton, to raise 2 little daughters, including a Sarah, b. 1764. Seth's mother Priscilla turns out to be a Priscilla Bradford, a Bradford & Warren descendant. (Those lines appear in those sections.) Thus Joel's Gen. 9 Howland-Tilley line runs: Philip Bradford, Seth, Sarah (Chipman) Bradford, Seth Chipman, Seth, Samuel, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Joel is also a Cooke via his mother. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 271, 267, 269-70, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BRADFORD, PHILIP A.Father of Joel Packard Bradford, above, and cousin of William Bradford, below, Philip was a Howland-Tilley descendant of the 8th generation as well as a Bradford and Warren. See Joel's entry above for details. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 267, 269, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BRADFORD, WILLIAM

First cousin of Philip A. Bradford, above, William was a Howland-Tilley descendant of Gen. 8 as well as a Bradford and Warren. See Philip's son Joel's entry above for details. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 267-8, digitized by the Library of Congress.

BREITLING, JOSEPH CUSHMAN

Grandson of a German immigrant to Mobile, AL and son of a Confederate soldier, Joseph had a middle name and MA upbringing that made him relatively easy to trace. The book with this image names his maternal grandparents & great grandparents, then with a little help from the DAR database I found the birth of his great-great grandfather in the Allerton silver book. That revealed the Alden-Mullins, Standish, Cooke, & Hopkins links. The Hopkins book revealed a triple line and a hitherto unsuspected Howland-Tilley link. Joseph's Gen 10/11 Howland-Tilley line runs: Katherine Elizabeth (Cushman) Breitling, Thaddeus Thompson Cushman, Levi, Sarah (Ripley) Cushman, William Ripley Jr., Hannah (Bosworth) Ripley, David Bosworth, Hannah (Howland) Bosworth, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley. If you want more photos and more info, Joseph (b. 1874) and grandfather Thaddeus were both M.D.s so will have left a paper trail in ME and VT. The Thompson lead is worth pursuing for more Cooke ancestry in particular. Image & info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1904), pp. 99-101, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

Brooks, Abigail Brown

Abigail Brown (Brooks) Adams, mother of Brooks Adams, above, was a Generation 8 descendant of pilgrims Elizabeth Tilley and John Howland. She is the granddaughter of Nathaniel Gorham, below. This painting was made in 1872 by William Morris Hunt, when Abigail was about 64. Image reprinted courtesy of the National Park Service.

BROWN, ALLEN HENRY

The Rev. Brown is said to have been b. NY City in 1820, to Silas and Olivia (Brown) Brown of Connecticut. He received a college education and became a Presbyterian minister in New Jersey. Supposedly the Presbytery of NJ published a book about him in 1900. If you can find that, it might have a picture, too. He married and had four children. His Gen 8/9 lineage should run: Silas Brown, Sarah (Cobb) Brown, Henry Cobb, Lois (Hallett) Cobb, Elizabeth (Gorham) Hallett, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Howland Gorham book gets as tar as the birth of Sarah Cobb. Image & info from Cyrus Henry Brown, Brown Genealogy of Many of the Descendants of Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown, Sons of Thomas and Mary (Newhall) Brown of Lynn, Mass., 1628-1907, vol. 1 (Boston: Everett, 1907), pp. 19, 401, 402, 410-11, digitized by the Library of Congress. Note: The book does not say "vol. 1" anywhere on it. Cyrus added to it and called the 1915 version "Vol. 2." Both are on Internet Archive for free download. Ignore the "vol. 3" there; it's actually another copy of vol. 2, but the 3rd book. ​

BROWN, ELIZA

There don't seem to be as high a percentage of Mayflower descendants on Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, on the former possibly because of the number of Quakers, who were expelled from their Meeting if they married a nonQuaker. Anyway, here is one: Eliza (Brown) Huxford, a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley. Her line runs as follows: Betsey (Allen) Brown, Joseph Allen, Mercy (Skiff) (Coffin) Allen, Mercy (Chipman) Skiff, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley, all 4 of the Mayflower. Judging by the garb I think Eliza (1805-1887) may also have been a Quaker. She and her husband resided at Edgartown, MV. Image and info (confirmed with NEHGS records) from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial. First Series, Descendants of Edward Allen of Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1690-1905 (Palmer, MA: Fiske, 1905), p. 25-26, 31-32, 39, digitized by the Library of Congress. Eliza would appreciate a scan of the paper edition so I can post a more flattering photo.

BUMPUS, EDWARD AVERY

Born in 1875, Lt. Edward Bumpus was killed on the island of Samar, in the Philippines on 28 Sep 1901 during the Spanish-American War. In response his father Everett Cephas Bumpus (below) wrote a touching and historically interesting book with many details about China, the Philippines, life as a young Army officer, Harvard, and Quincy, MA. In it he refers to the antiquity of the Bumpus family in MA and to Cushman ancestors. Edward, his father, and brother Everett Chauncey Bumpus (both below) turned out to be Allerton, Billington, Fuller, Howland/Tilley, Eaton, and Chilton descendants. For a lengthier bio of the trio, see their Allerton and other write-ups. Edward was a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley as follows: Everett Cephas Bumpus, Cephas Cushman Bumpus, Lydia (Cushman) Bumpus, Lydia (Fuller) Cushman, Lydia (Cushman) Fuller, Robert Cushman, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See Everett Chauncey Bumpus's writeup for the image credit.

BUMPUS, EVERETT CEPHAS

Father of Edward Avery Bumpus (above) and Everett Chauncey Bumpus (below), Lt. Everett C. Bumpus of Co. F, 3d MA Heavy Artillery (and later attorney & judge) was a Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley. See Edward Avery's writeup for the line. This image of Everett C., age about 55, is from Conrad Reno, Memoirs of the Judiciary and the Bar of New England for the Nineteenth Century, Vol. II (Boston: Century Memorial, 1901), p. 807, digitized by the Boston Public Library. For images of him as a young lieutenant at the end of the Civil War, see his Allerton page.

BUMPUS, EVERETT CHAUNCEY

Two years older than his brother Edward, above, Chauncey, as he was known, also died in 1901 and was memorialized by his father in the same volume. A childhood illness left Chauncey blind but a combination of hard work, an optimistic attitude, schooling in Braille and academics at the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston (which Helen Keller attended), a Harvard education made possible by a family that read to him constantly, and an exceptional memory, Chauncey passed the bar and became a lawyer. He is a Gen 10/11 Howland-Tilley; see his brother Edward's writeup for the lineage. See their Allerton write-ups for more on all three. Images of Edward & Everett Chauncey from Everett C. Bumpus, In Memoriam (for the love I bear my dead) (Norwood, MA: Norwood Press, 1902), frontispiece and p. 117.

CAROW, EDITH KERMIT

Edith's great-great grandmother was Elizabeth Gorham (b. Charlestown 1745), sister of Nathaniel, below. (Both are in John Howland of the Mayflower, vol. 1.) Thus her grandmother, Emily (Lee) Tyler was a first cousin of Abigail Brooks, above. Edith is probably better known as the 2d wife of President Theodore Roosevelt than as a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley. She was born 1861 in CT and died in 1948 in New York. This photo was taken in February 1905, during T. R.'s presidency, when she would have been about 44 years of age. If you are a historian of costume or fashion the entire image is well worth downloading as her gown is fabulous. Her Howland lineage runs as follows: Gertrude Elizabeth (Tyler) Carow, Emily (Lee) Tyler, Elizabeth (Leighton) Lee, Elizabeth (Gorham) Leighton, Nathaniel Gorham, Stephen, John, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Edith's lineage is widely published but only the marriage of Emily Lee to Daniel Tyler turned up in an online search of CT VRs so you will have to rummage for proofs to document your ancestry for a lineage society if you are kin. Image from the Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.

CARY, HENRY GROSVENOR

He was the author of the book from which this image was taken and an earlier edition about the family's origins in England. Music teacher Henry (1829-1905) was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 8 & Gen 9 Edward Fuller descendant. (See that section for that lineage.) The Howland blue book vol. 2 and the E. Fuller silver book get as far as the birth of Henry's grandfather, Shubael Hurd of Connecticut, in 1748/9. More vital records are on the NEHGS site. Here is his Howland-Tilley line, starting with his mother: Sophia (Hurd) Cary, Shubael Hurd, Rachel (Fuller) Hurd, Hannah (Crocker) Fuller, Hannah (Howland) Crocker, John Holland, John & Elizabeth of the Mayflower, plus her parents. Lineage chart and image from Henry Grosvenor Cary, The Cary Family in America (Boston: Seth Cooley Cary, 1907), frontispiece and chart near pages 84-85. Book digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library.

Childs, Edwin Otis

Generation 9/10 Howland-Tilley on his mother's side (Abigail Holman), Edwin Otis Childs's lineage is traced through Generation 6, Mary Moore, in E. P. White, John Howland of the Mayflower, v3. That volume is dedicated to descendants of daughter Hope Howland. The line is Howland-Tilley, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Chipman, Lydia (Chipman) Swift, Mary (Swift) Moore/More, Mary (Moore) Warriner, Mary (Warriner) Holman, Abigail (Holman) Childs, Edwin Otis Childs. Because Edwin was born in Georgia (1847) and his Mayflower lineage is via so many maternal lines, it would be extremely easy to miss him had his parents not moved back to MA and had he not wound up in a book. Image and info from Charles Edwin Hurd, The New England Library of Genealogy and Personal History (Boston: New England Historical Publishing Co., 1902), pp. 472-76, 479, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CHIPMAN, EDWIN CLIFFORD

Edwin was a Generation 9 Howland/Tilley through their daughter Hope Chipman. The lineage given in this book matches John Howland of the Mayflower, v. 3, as far as it goes:John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley, Hope Howland & John Chipman, then Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, and Charles Chipman. The remainder, Nathan Fellows Chipman, Nathan Truman Chipman, and Edwin Clifford Chipman, can be found on the NEHGS site. The last Samuel had migrated from Barnstable to CT but the two Nathans can be found in Hopkinton, RI for the 1865 state census, with 4-year-old Edwin C. on the next page. He was listed as born in New York. Image from Genealogical & Biographical Record of New London (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1905) p. 500. Digitized by Brigham Young University.

CHIPMAN, HARRY ELBERT

Grandson of Jefferson Chipman, below, Harry E. was a Gen 10/11 Howland-Tilley descendant through his father George Elbert Wesley Chipman. See Jefferson's writeup for the line beyond that. Harry was born in New Haven, CT in 1870 and at some point moved to IN. The book mentions his invention of a means to record sound during movie making simultaneously with the image being recorded. In other words, talkies. It would be interesting to find out if this invention was the one ultimately adopted by the filmmaking industry. Image and additional info from Image & info from Bert Lee Chipman, The Chipman Family in America: A Genealogy of the Chipmans in America 1631-1920 (Winston-Salem, NC: author, 1920) pp. 273-4, 292-3, digitized by the New York Public Library.

CHIPMAN, HOLMES SAMUEL

Like nephew Kenneth Gordon Chipman and brother John Pryor Chipman, both below, Holmes Samuel Chipman (b. 1850) had a double Howland-Tilley line. If you are reading this in Australia and wondering if you are a relative, the answer could be yes, as he apparently left Nova Scotia and relocated in Sydney (after a six-year sojourn in Japan and two years in the U.S., then another three in the US after Japan.) In 1870 he reportedly moved permanently to Sydney, married, and had a son. Australia has put a lot of its genealogical records online; I had an Australian ancestor who lied about his background when he came to America but with the Internet, ancestors can run but they cannot hide. Holmes's lines are identical to Kenneth's, his father being Rev. William Chipman, so see that writeup for the specifics. Image & info from Bert Lee Chipman, The Chipman Family in America: A Genealogy of the Chipmans in America 1631-1920 (Winston-Salem, NC: author, 1920) pp. 95, 182-3, digitized by the New York Public Library.

CHIPMAN, JEFFERSON

Jefferson (1821-1882) and his wife Juliette Bartoll of NY (m. 1841) had 3 children in the 1840s who survived to adulthood, according to the author of the book with this photo: George Elbert Wesley, Mary Emma, and Jennie E. Chipman. Of the two sisters, only the latter had a spouse listed, so look for a Jennie Hall (wife of Charles W.) if you think you are a relative of this CT family. His Gen 8/9 line runs: Joseph Chipman, Joseph, John, Samuel, Samuel, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus parents. John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 3, gets to the birth of Jefferson's grandfather Joseph; you will have to get vital records to prove from the grandparents' marriage on down to link with this family. Image & info from Bert Lee Chipman, The Chipman Family in America: A Genealogy of the Chipmans in America 1631-1920 (Winston-Salem, NC: author, 1920) pp. 68, 142, 222, digitized by the New York Public Library.

CHIPMAN, JOHN PRYOR

John (b 1848), his older brother Holmes (above), and their nephew Kenneth (below) are all double Howland-Tilleys due to the marriage of cousins. According to the author of the book with this image, John (shown reading a book while sitting outdoors in this photo) died in 1917 and thus was no older than 69 when this photo was taken. He was a lawyer, judge, and twice mayor of Kentville, NS and thus should have left a good paper trail and possibly more photos. He also left a reported nine children. His lines are the same as Kenneth's, beginning with his father the Rev. William Chipman, so see that writeup for the specifics.

CHIPMAN, KENNETH GORDON

Arctic topographer Kenneth Gordon Chipman (b 1884 NS) is another Canadian Howland-Tilley and like so many of us, a member of the "I am my own cousin club." He was the grandson of Samuel Chipman's oldest brother, Rev. William (b. 1781), who married (2d) his half-cousin Eliza Ann Chipman. Kenneth's 1st Gen. 8/9 line runs: Andrew Fuller Chipman, Rev. William, William Allen, Handley, John, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland, Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents, all 4 of the Mayflower. His second Gen. 8/9 line runs: Andrew Fuller Chipman, Eliza Ann (Chipman) Chipman, Homes/Holmes Chipman, Handley, John, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland, Elizabeth Tilley, etc. You would have to get Canadian vital records to prove this beyond the birth of Kenneth's grandfather but that is not as impossible as it sounds, as the provincial archives are getting more digitized all the time and there are active genealogical societies in the Maritimes. There are also images of Kenneth on some of his Arctic expeditions online and I have linked two such sites in this writeup, but please check copyright statements as some are not available for download. I did not find any obvious Fuller link.

CHIPMAN, NORTON PARKER

Born in 1835, Norton Parker Chipman was originally from OH but moved to IA, where he became an attorney and an officer in the 2d IA Vols., eventually promoted to colonel, then sent to the War Dept. where he was Judge Advocate of the military commission that tried "the Andersonville jailer." He was breveted a Brig. Gen., practiced law in DC and served 2 terms in the US Congress, moved to CA, and served there as a state supreme court judge. No wonder he got a big writeup in this book and a photo; what a list of accomplishments. He probably left a superlative paper trail and there are likely more photos of him, possibly with family. His one child, a daughter born sometime after 1865, whose name is not given in the book, married a Chester S. Smith of San Francisco. Beginning with his father, Norton's Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley line runs: Norman Chipman, Joseph, Jonathan, Thomas, Samuel, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus her parents. Norton's grandfather Joseph was born in CT in 1761 but is said to have died in OH.

​

CHIPMAN, RICHARD MANNING

The Rev. Chipman (b. Salem, MA 1806) was the son of another Richard Manning Chipman, named for his paternal grandmother's father, Richard Manning of early 1700s Ipswich. This is mentioned in John Howland of the Mayflower, vol.3, which gets you as far as the 1746 birth of Rev. Richard Manning's grandfather, John, whose Revolutionary War service makes this line easier to follow. (Take notice, DAR and SAR applicants.) This Richard's Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley line runs: Richard Manning Chipman, John, Samuel, John, Samuel, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland and the 3 Tilley passengers (parents and daughter.) In these blurry scans, at least, he looks like a younger version of distant cousin Samuel of NS, below. Image and some info from Bert Lee Chipman, The Chipman Family in America: A Genealogy of the Chipmans in America 1631-1920 (Winston-Salem, NC: author, 1920) pp. 70, 143-4, 223, digitized by the New York Public Library.

CHIPMAN, SAMUEL

This is a genuine Gen. 6/7 Howland-Tilley descendant whose name and birth are in the GSMD's official Howland book. (I can't call Vol. 3 a "silver book" technically because it's blue, but it's official nonetheless.) Samuel had reached the age of 100 when this photo was taken and according to the Howland book he lived to 102 and kept his wits about him to the end. Samuel (1790-1892) retired from one job at age 80 and took up another one for an additional 18 years in the saddle as Register of Deeds for Kings Co, NS, according to the book from which the photo comes, giving it up reluctantly due to eyesight issues. His line runs: William Allen Chipman, Handley, John, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus parents. Image & some info from Bert Lee Chipman, The Chipman Family in America: A Genealogy of the Chipmans in America 1631-1920 (Winston-Salem, NC: author, 1920) p. 97, digitized by the New York Public Library.

CHIPMAN, WARD Jr.

Born in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1787, he was the son of Loyalist Ward Chipman (b. Marblehead, MA 1754) and Elizabeth Hazen. Ward, Jr. followed in the footsteps of his father and pursued law as a profession. He was the only child of his parents and left no heirs himself when he died in 1851. The birth of Ward senior is in the Hope (Howland) Chipman volume of John Howland of the Mayflower as Gen. 6. Both men are profiled in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, which you can access online. Ward's Gen. 7/8 Howland Tilley line begins with his father, as follows: Ward Chipman, John, John, Samuel, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland + Elizabeth Tilley plus her parents John Tilley & Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley, all 4 of the Mayflower. The image (depicting him in judicial robes), was taken during his years as Chief Justice (1835-1842), so age 48-55. Image from W. O. Raymond, ed. Winslow Papers, Vol. 2 (St. John: NB Historical Society, 1901), p. 656, digitized by me.

CLARK, HERBERT ALLYNE

Major Clark was a Generation 8/9 Howland-Tilley descendant via his father, Samuel W. Clark. See the Allerton and Browne sections for details because it was those Silver Books that revealed Howland, Warren, and Cooke lines. Herbert's Howland line runs as follows: Samuel Woodbine Clark, Abisha Tinkham Clark, Lucy (Tinkham) Clark, Abisha/Abaisha/Abishai Tinkham, Hannah (Howland) Tinkham, Isaac Howland, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The author of this book claims Bradford genes. Can you help with that? Image and info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 448, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

COBB, JONATHAN LOVETT HASKELL

J. L. H. Cobb, as he signed his name, was a Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley, Gen 9 Allerton and Billington, and a Gen 8 Brown/Browne descendant via Cushman and Tinkham women that his Cobb forebears married. See his Brown(e) writeup for more details on the family and his other Pilgrim writeups for those lineages. His Howland-Tilley line runs: Zenas Cobb, Zenas, Jerusha (Cushman) Cobb, Robert Cushman, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Mayflower Families Through Five Generations vol. 23, part 1 gets as far as the marriage of Jerusha Cushman and Ebenezer Cobb, Jr., Jonathan's great-grandparents. Image and info from Georgia Drew Merrill, History of Androscoggin County, Maine (Boston: Ferguson, 1891), pp. 429-30 digitized by the Library of Congress.

COFFIN, CLEMENT

Clement Coffin, son of Eddy Coffin and second wife Sarah Vincent/Vinson, was a Generation 8 Howland-Tilley through his mother. They were all from Martha's Vineyard, presumably dating to Eddy's grandfather Enoch Coffin's marriage to Beulah Eddy of the Vineyard. Clement took his family to Michigan then to Iowa in the 1840s, where they settled "Coffin's Grove." He was a judge and held other political offices, thus the biographical information on him in the book from which this image was taken. The rest of his line can be found on americanancestors.org in the MA Vital Records and the NEHGR. The Howland link is in John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 1, in a notation that Eddy's second wife was granddaughter of the nonline-carrying spouse in Gen 5. Tracing Clement back to John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley is thus a tale of 7 women: Sarah (Vincent) Coffin, Jane (Norton) Vincent, Mary (Daggett) Norton, Elizabeth (Hawes) Daggett, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, and Elizabeth Tilley & John Howland of the Mayflower. Image and info from The History of Delaware County, Iowa (Chicago: Western Historical Company, 1878), pp. 99 and 571, digitized by the Library of Congress.

COLLAMORE, JACOB

A son of Marcy (Barker) and Anthony Collamore, Jr., Jacob Collamore (1791 - 1865) was a state supreme court judge, veteran of the War of 1812, Windsor County (VT) attorney, Vermont state legislator, Postmaster General (1849, image on the right), and U.S. senator "as an anti-slavery Whig," (This per the author of the book from which this photo was taken. He was said to have been "a trusted friend and counsellor of President Lincoln" who made key anti-slavery speeches in the years leading up to the war.) I mention all this because that gives you additional ways to search out photos and biographical information about Jacob if you believe you are related to him. His Gen. 8 Howland-Tilley line would be similar to that of Newton Collamore and Archie Bennett on this page, as follows: Samuel Collamore, Marcy (Barker) Collamore, Mary (Green [aka Neal]) Barker, Desire (Bacon) Green, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Doty Silver Book gets as far as the marriage of Samuel Collamore to Elizabeth Van Ornum, Jacob's parents. Like Newton and Archie he was also a Doty and Warren descendant. Image on the left and info from Charles Hatch, Genealogy of the Descendants of Anthony Collamer of Scituate, Massachusetts (Salem: Newcomb & Gauss, 1915), pp. 45-47, digitized by the Boston Public Library. Image on the right by Matthew Brady, from the Daguerrotype Collection, LOC, DAG no. 431.

COLLAMORE, NEWTON LEON

Like Archie Bennett on this page, Newton Leon Collamore helped with the compilation and publication of the book from which this image was taken. His specialty was Vermont, where his family had been for several generations. His Gen. 11 Howland-Tilley line runs: Edwin Samuel Collamore, Ira Allen, Samuel, Marcy (Barker) Collamore, Mary (Green [aka Neal]) Barker, Desire (Bacon) Green, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Newton and Archie (above) were both descendants of pilgrims Richard Warren and Edward Doty (Gen. 9). (See Archie's writeup for more detail.)

CROCKER, ANNA

A very distant relation of David, below, Anna (b. 1807) was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 8 Warren descendant. Her branch of the family emigrated to Connecticut and from there to the eastern edge of NY state in the mid-late 1700s. Look for DAR and SAR ancestors if you belong to this family as the area was one with much through-traffic due to the Hudson River and thus the scene of much conflict. Anna married, as his second wife, Walter Rogers of Ft. Edward, NY so their surname may be different. Anna's father is in John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 2, but a number of siblings are listed for him with question marks next to their names. If you descend from one such ancestor you will need to prove the relationship with as many vital records, land deeds, etc. as possible. Anna's Howland-Tilley line runs: Ephraim Crocker, Levi, James, Hannah (Howland) Crocker, John Howland, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See her Warren writeup for that line. Image & info fromThe History of Washington County, New York (Philadelphia: Everts & Ensign, 1878) p. 326, digitized by the Library of Congress. Warning: This is one of those books that identifies all the women in captions as "Mrs. John Q. Citizen." You have to skim the text beneath each name and look for a familiar surname.

CROCKER, DAVID

The Hon. David Crocker (presumably so called because he was High Sheriff of Barnstable Co, per the author of the book from which the image was taken), was a double Gen. 6 Howland-Tilley. The book is not particularly helpful in ferreting this out, as the lineages named are primarily patrilineal with the wives as afterthoughts and the children all lumped together. David is described as the "7th son" of a man who actually had 11 children by 3 wives. The 3rd wife was the double Howland descendant. David's 1st Howland line runs: Bathsheba (Jenkins) Crocker, Mercy (Howland) Jenkins, Shubael Howland, John, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (plus her parents) of the Mayflower. The 2nd line runs: Bathsheba (Jenkins) Crocker, Joseph Jenkins, Lydia (Howland) Jenkins, Joseph Howland, John & Elizabeth. Please note that the text of this book correctly lists David's birth year as 1779 but the caption under the illustration incorrectly says 1789. He is in the blue book, John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 2 (through son John & wife Mary Lee.) His parents are in the Howland silver book vol. 23, part 1. Image & some info from Frederick Freeman, The History of Cape Cod: The Annals of Barnstable County and Its Several Towns Including the District of Mashpee in Two Volumes, vol. 1 (Boston: Rand & Avery, 1858), p. 646, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CUSHMAN, AARON CEPHAS

Conveniently named after his paternal grandfather & father, Capt. Cushman (b. 1808 NY) is actually in a Mayflower Families publication, the George Soule Pink Book, as #396x's only child. The birth of grandfather Cephas Cushman is in the Allerton book and grandfather's marriage to Mary Soule is in the John Howland Silver Book, vol. 23, part 1. Aaron Cephas Cushman was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley, Gen. 7 Soule, & Gen. 8 Allerton. See those sections for those lineages, particularly the Allerton writeup for more details on him & his wife, a Cooke whose picture I would like to have also. He would be roughly a 3rd cousin of Ara, Austin, & Emery on this page. This image shows Capt. Cushman at age 45 or 46, i.e. circa 1853/54, when he had retired from whaling and was a New Bedford alderman. Perhaps other images could be found in histories of that city. His Howland line runs: Aaron Cushman, Cephas, Joshua, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image & info from Henry Wyles Cushman, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans: The Descendants of Robert Cushman, the Puritan, from the Year 1617 to 1855 (Boston: Little, Brown, 1855), pp. 144, 147, 149, 234, 243-4420-1, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CUSHMAN, ARA

Ara, son of Ara and Esther (Merrill) Cushman, was a Generation 7/8 Howland-Tilley (twice), and an Allerton, Eaton, and Priest due to early intermarriages. (See those writeups for details.) Mary Allerton Cushman's son Thomas married Ruth Howland, daughter of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley BUT she died, and Thomas Cushman's son Benjamin was from a second marriage, to Abigail Fuller. However, Benjamin's son, another Thomas Cushman, married Annie Chipman. (The book from which this photo comes mistakenly calls her "Annie, daughter of Jacob Cushman" on p. 867 but correctly as the daughter of Jacob Chipman and 2d wife Bethiah Thomas on the next page.) Both of Annie's parents were Generation 4/5 Howland-Tilleys, via Hope Howland Chipman and John Howland, Jr. John Howland of the Mayflower vols. III (Chipman) & III (John 2d & Mary Lee) get as far as the birth of Ara's grandfather Thomas Cushman, who (according to the book from which this image was taken) was a Shaker. He and his wife Ruth Ring married, and had only two children, including Ara, Sr. That Ara, in turn, remained with the Shakers until age 30, then married Esther and had five children in Minot, ME. The younger Ara lived from 1829 to 1904. The two older Aras are not in the NEHGS database but the marriage and WWI service of grandson Ara (b. 1872, Auburn, ME) is. If you read the writeup on this Ara in the book mentioned below you will agree it is unlikely that his widow and adult children, interviewed 4 or 5 years later for this book, invented Ara's parents and grandparents out of whole cloth. Still, if you are a descendant of Thomas (1758-1816) and grandmother Ruth Ring (m. 1783), you would need to search for Maine vital records. This book is a helpful roadmap but does not alone constitute proof. (While you are at it, see if Ruth Ring is a Mayflower descendant.)

CUSHMAN, AUSTIN SPRAGUE

The photo from which this was cropped shows Austin S. Cushman in his role as Department Commander, i.e. state leader for Massachusetts, of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in 1867. He was then 40. His father Robert Woodward Cushman was cousin of David Quimby Cushman, below, thus Austin S. is a 1st cousin once removed. To figure this out requires a combination of vital records, online at the NEHGS an article in their NEHGR, then help from the Cushman family history where the image of his father was found. Austin was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilly, a 9 Billington and Allerton, a 9/10 Alden-Mullins, and an 8 Soule. You can see his lines on those pages. Austin's Howland-Tilley line would run: Robert Woodward Cushman, Job Cushman, Robert, Robert, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image from MA GAR, Early History of the Department of Massachusetts G.A.R. from 1866 to 1880 Inclusive (Boston: Stillings, 1895), frontispiece, digitized by the University of Massachusetts Libraries.

CUSHMAN, DAVID

Father of David Quimby Cushman and cousin of Robert Woodward Cushman, both below, and a cousin once removed of Austin S. Cushman, above, David (b. 1806, ME) was a Gen. 6/7 Howland-Tilley, 7/8 Alden-Mullins, 7 Billington & Allerton,and 6 Soule. See David Quimby's writeup for the lineage. The image shows him at age 48 and was made from a daguerrotype. The author included a lengthy autobiography written by David. Image and info from Henry Wyles Cushman, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans: The Descendants of Robert Cushman, the Puritan, from the Year 1617 to 1855 (Boston: Little, Brown, 1855), pp. 376-81, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CUSHMAN, DAVID QUIMBY

This is the sketch of a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley descendant and a Gen. 8 Billington & Allerton, 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and 7 Soule. Author of the book from which this sketch was taken, the Rev. David Quimby Cushman was also an active member of the NEHGS and according to his obit in the NEHGR, David's paternal line was Kenelm, Robert, Robert, Robert, Thomas, Thomas, Robert Cushman. The first Thomas married Mary Allerton (Gen. 2), and the second Thomas married a Howland-Tilley daughter (Ruth). The second Robert of the three married Mercy Washburn, whose mother was Lydia Billington. The Billington & Allerton Silver Book leave off at Robert 2, Mercy, & son Robert 3 but the Howland Silver Book (23:1:187, not the "John Howland of the Mayflower" series) reveals that the third Robert married a Martha Delano. Her entry as #203 in the GSMD's Delano "Green Books" points out an Alden-Mullins and a Soule line as well. See his nephew Austin S. Cusman's write-ups for their Mayflower lineages. Image from D. Q. Cushman, The History of Ancient Sheepscot and New Castle [ME] (Bath, ME: Upton, 1882), frontispiece. Digitized by the Library of Congress.

CUSHMAN, EMERY

A distant cousin of David Quimby Cushman (above) and the father of Henry W. and Emery Eugene (below), Emery Cushman was a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley, Gen. 8 Allerton, and with Alden-Mullins & Standish and 4 Soule lines. (See those writeups for the lineages.) Emery's Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: David Cushman, Joseph, Joshua, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image and info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 278, digitized by the Library of Congress.

CUSHMAN, EMERY EUGENE

Son of Emery (above) and brother of Henry W. (below), Emery Eugene was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and Alden-Mullins, Gen. 9 Allerton, and a Soule & Standish. See his father's writeups for details.Image and info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 278, 280, digitized by the Library of Congress.

CUSHMAN, HENRY W.

Son of Emery and brother of Emery Eugene (both above), Henry was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley & Alden-Mullins, Gen. 9 Allerton, and a Soule & Standish descendant. See his father's writeups for details.Image and info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 278-79, digitized by the Library of Congress.

CUSHMAN, ROBERT WOODWARD

Father of Austin S. Cushman and cousin of David Q. Cushman, both above, Rev. Robert (b. 1800 Woolwich, ME) was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilly, Gen. 8 Allerton and Billington, Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 7 Soule descendant. See Austin S. Cushman's writeup for details. (Austin was also a Standish via his mother, Lucy Sprague.) The author of the book from which this image comes must be either a fan or a family member because he devoted over 20 pages to this one individual's work as a minister.Image and info from Henry Wyles Cushman, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans: The Descendants of Robert Cushman, the Puritan, from the Year 1617 to 1855 (Boston: Little, Brown, 1855), pp. 144-5, 211-2, 382, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

CUSHMAN, SAMUEL

The Hon. Samuel Cushman of Portsmouth, NH (b ME 1783) was age 66 when the engraving reproduced in the book below was made. In addition to being a double Howland-Tilley via his paternal grandmother, he is a Gen 7 Allerton, Priest, and Eaton. His first Gen 7/8 H-T line is: Job Cushman, Anna (Chipman) Cushman, Jacob Chipman, Samuel, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & etc. The second, also Gen 7/8, is as follows: Job Cushman, Anna (Chipman) Cushman, Bethiah (Thomas) Chipman, Lydia (Howland) Thomas, John Howland, John & Co of the Mayflower. Both lines go as far as the birth of Job, the same as the Allerton silver book. See the other sections for those lines. Image and info from ​Henry Wyles Cushman, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans: The Descendants of Robert Cushman, the Puritan, from the Year 1617 to 1855 (Boston: Little, Brown, 1855), pp. 274-5, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Edson, Jael

According to the Babbitt Family History, Jael (Edson) Babbitt (1787-1866) was a Soule and Alden-Mullins descendant. Research in the Silver & Pink Books revealed that she was Gen 6 Soule (via her mother, Rhoda Peterson) and Gen 6/7 Alden-Mullins (via her maternal grandmother Ruth Delano) but was also Gen 6/7 Howland-Tilley by her paternal grandmother, Jael (Bennett) Edson and Gen 6 Doty via the Petersons. The GSMD's Alden, Soule, and Howland books document her parents; Jael herself is in the Doty Silver Book. She was the mother of Adeline Lavinia (Babbitt) Browne and Nathan Snell Babbitt, above. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A. Hack & Son, 1912), p. 360, scanned at the Library of Congress.

ELLIS, BENJAMIN

The vital records of the town of Carver, MA conveniently list Benjamin's birth in 1775 with his title ("Hon."), parents, and both wives so you can be sure it is the same man in the illustration labeled, "Hon. Benjamin Ellis" in the Carver town history. Benjamin turned out to be a double Howland-Tilley, an Allerton, Cooke, Hopkins, and Samson and the uncle of another "Hon.," Jesse Murdock, below. The vital records on the NEHGS are good and include his grandfather Mathias Ellis's probate record written out by Benjamin's father, Joseph, but the GSMD's Delano green books cut to the chase and said "Howland-Tilley." It also lists all of Benjamin's children. That book was a springboard to the actual Mayflower lineages. Benjamin (b. 1775) was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley as follows, first: Joseph Ellis, Lucia (Bennett) Ellis, Joseph Bennett, Priscilla (Howland) Bennett, Isaac Howland, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus parents. Second, Gen. 8/9: Joseph Ellis, Lucia (Bennett) Ellis, Thankful (Sprout) Bennett, Experience (Hawes) Sprout, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & the 3 Tilleys. (Note: the Samson silver book gets to the birth of Benjamin.) See his other write-ups for those lineages. Image from Henry S.

A. Churchill Family, n.d. (by 1893 & bef. 1914), p. 9, digitized by the Library of Congress.

EVERETT, WILLIAM

Son of noted speaker Rev. Edward Everett and Charlotte Gray Brooks, granddaughter of Nathaniel Gorham, above, William was a Gen. 9 Howland-Tilley descendant. This image was likely taken during his tenure as a U.S. Rep. from MA, 1893-1895, when he would have been in his mid 50s. William's line would run: Charlotte Gray (Brooks) Everett, Ann (Gorham) Brooks, Nathaniel Gorham, Nathaniel, Stephen, John, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. William did not marry and so presumably left no descendants but he did have several siblings. Be aware, though, that Edward Everett was so famous that just finding and "Edward Everett So-and-So" in your family does not make you a relative. Image & info from the Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress (a public domain web site of the U.S. Congress's Office of the Historian and the Clerk of the House's Office of Art & Archives.)

FAIRBANKS, GEORGE W.

The book from which this photo comes claims Howland-Tilley descent for George but misses the Allerton & Priest connections. Thanks to the GSMD's Silver Books (Mayflower Families through Five Generations) you will not. His lineage is thanks to his mother, Lydia (Chipman) Fairbanks and her mother, Anna (Waterman) Chipman. Anna's father Joseph Waterman was a Generation 6 Degory Priest descendant and a Generation 5 Allerton via his mother Lydia (Cushman) Waterman. Joseph is in the Allerton and Priest Silver Books, his daughter Anna is in the Allerton volume. George is thus a Generation 7 Howland-Tilley descendant, a Generation 8 Allerton, and Generation 9 Priest. Note: there is an error in the Allerton book on page 148, describing Lydia (Cushman) Waterman as the daughter of Joseph Cushman, but reading from front to back, you will discover that she was the daughter of his brother, Eleazer Cushman and Elizabeth (Coombs) Cushman. George owes a lot to the women in his family! Image and some info from History of the Town of Wayne, Kennebec County, ME (Augusta: Maine Farmer Publishing, 1898), pp. 224-5.

FAIRBANKS, HENRY NATHANIEL

Son of George W. Fairbanks, above, and Lucy (Lovejoy) Fairbanks, he was a Generation 8 Howland-Tilley, Generation 10 Priest, and Generation 9 Allerton descendant. There might be a better picture of a younger, possibly less-mustachioed Henry in a Civil War publication or web site, as he served in 3 units: Co G, 3rd ME Volunteers, Co C, 44th MA, then Co E, 30th ME Volunters.

Quite possibly the "C" stood for Cushman, his mother's maiden name (though her death record says "Cushing.") Alonzo Farmer (b. 1831, VT) was a Howland-Tilley, Allerton, Warren, Soule, and Cooke. There may be more Pilgrim lines, as his grandmothers' surnames were Briggs and Holbrook, worth checking into. The Soule pink book will get you to the marriage of Alonzo's parents. Alonzo can be found in the VT vital records on the NEHGS site. Alonzo's Gen 8/9 Howland/Tilley line runs: Lydia Hobart Cushman (Farmer), John Cushman, Soule, Joshua, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley. See the other sections for those lines. Image and info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1904), pp. 160-1, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, ALBERT VOLNEY

This line needs some proving; see the Brewster write-ups on the 12 Fosters listed here for more details. Albert is, as you might guess, the son of William Volney Foster and grandson of Volney Foster but also the brother of Eva Cornelia Foster and great-grandson of Hopestill Foster, all below. The blue John Howland of the Mayflower, vol. 3, gets as far as the birth and marriage of Hopestill's supposed parents but left out 4 younger children that author Pierce claims for this couple. Proof of everything between him and your Foster ancestor will need to be documented with government-issued birth, death, and marriage records. If you can accomplish this, Albert's Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley line would run: William Volney Foster, Volney, Hopestill, Deborah (Bangs) Foster, Deborah (Chipman) (Nickerson) Bangs, John Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Chipman line is also their claim to Warren ancestry, but the same problem remains whether it's Howland, Tilley, Warren, or Brewster ancestry. See those section for details.

FOSTER, DANIEL SHAYS

Yes, he really was named for the Daniel Shays of Shays's Rebellion, an ancestor on his father's side. The book from which this photo comes includes several interesting tales of his bravery a during the Civil War. Dr. Foster was four generations down from Chllingsworth and Mercy (Freeman) Foster's son James, and the next 2 generations do appear in the appropriate Howland book, so you need to prove just him and his parents. This Gen 8/9 line should run: Seth Foster, Seth, Deborah (Bangs) Foster, Deborah (Chipman) (Nickerson) Bangs, John Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Daniel is also a Warren (via Chipman) and Brewster (via Foster) descendant. See those sections for details. From Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), pp. 671-72. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, DEBORAH

Deborah (Foster) Cook (1766-1859) was a Gen 6/7 Howland-Tilley descendant and her birth is documented in the Howland Blue Book, vol. 3 (Chipman.) Deborah may have been born in Massachusetts but died in Albany County. Her father Edward Foster and mother, Deborah (Bangs) Foster are said to likewise have emigrated to New York (Scoharie County) and died there in their nineties. Corroborative evidence would be appreciated by any lineage society since several siblings were allegedly left out of the Howland book and the parents' actual whereabouts and death information is lacking after 1777. This line would run: Deborah (Bangs) Foster, Deborah (Chipman) (Nickerson) Bangs, John Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See the Warren & Brewster sections for those lineages, the latter through her Chillingsworth line. From Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), pp. 554-55. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, ELMA HOLT

Daughter of Henry Lewis Foster and sister of Frances E. Foster, both below, Elma Holt (Foster) Smith should be a Gen. 8/9 and perhaps a Brewster and Warren descendant. She descends from one of the Fosters missing from the Howland Blue Book, a John C. Foster. See Albert Volney Foster's writeup, above, and Henry's Brewster writeup for the lineage and the caveats about proving what the author of this Brewster genealogy claims. Image and info from Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), p. 634. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, EVA CORNELIA

Roughly 20 years old here, Eva was a sister of Albert, above, daughter of Volney William Foster, granddaughter of Volney Foster, and great-granddaughter of Hopestill Foster, all below, thus a possible Generation 9/10 Howland-Tilley. See Albert's writeup and the Brewster section for the "issues" with this family. From Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), p. 677. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, FRANCES E.

Daughter of Henry Lewis Foster, below, and sister of Elma Holt (Foster) Smith, above, Frances E. (Foster) Sumner should also be a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Brewster and Warren descendant. See Albert V. Foster, above, and father Henry's Brewster writeup for "issues" presented by the lineage that the author of this Brewster genealogy claims. Image and info from Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), pp. 634-5. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, HARVEY

Son of Hopestill Foster and brother of Volney Foster, Harvey (b. 1813 NY), Harvey would be a Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley descendant and a Warren and Brewster if you can prove that he is Hopestill's son AND that said Hopestill is the child of Edward Foster and Deborah Bangs. He and 3 other siblings do not appear as their parents' children in the Howland Blue Book, but Edward & Deborah were believed to have had "at least 3 more children." They disappeared, effectively, after 1777. Harvey's info and image from Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), p. 585. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library. Harvey would very much appreciate a scan of the print version of this book to replace this battered-looking digitized version.

FOSTER, HENRY LEWIS

First cousin of Harvey, above, and Volney, below, Henry (1813-1894) was the son of one of the Foster children allegedly missing from the Howland Blue Book, vol. 3. See Albert, Deborah, and Harvey for more details. Henry's theoretical Gen 7/8 line would run: John C. Foster, Deborah (Bangs) Foster, Deborah (Chipman) (Nickerson) Bangs, John Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. If you can prove this line you can also prove his presumed Warren and Brewster lines. Image and info from Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), p. 633. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, HOPESTILL

Poor Hopestill. He is said to be a Gen. 6/7 Howland-Tilley via Mercy and Chillingsworth's son James Foster, his grandfather. That makes him a brother of Deborah Foster. (See her writeup for the lineage.) The only problem is, the Howland Blue Book lists Deborah & 6 other older siblings but not this Hopestill and 3 younger sibs, including Lydia. You will have to prove that he was the son of Edward Foster and Deborah Bangs, b. 1782 in Pelham, MA, and died in Aztelan, WI in 1869, after living in various places in New York and Wisconsin. Sons Harvey and Volney, grandson Volney William Foster, and great-grandchildren Albert Volney Foster and Eva Cornelia Foster are also depending on you. You will have a challenge proving his family's early 1800s sojourn in New York if you plan to join the Mayflower Society but you can submit evidence from books like this as supporting documentation (only.) One question to ask: why does he have no children named for his parents, Deborah and Edward? From Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), p. 585. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library. A larger photo would be appreciated.

FOSTER, LYDIA

Supposedly the younger sister of Deborah, above, Lydia (Foster) Hyde would be a Gen. 6/7 Howland-Tilley but she and brother Hopestill (above) have a dilemma. They were left out of John Howland of the Mayflower, vol. 3 (see pp. 556-7.) The author of this family genealogy states that Lydia was born in 1780 in Athol, MA, but there is a footnote saying that her birth and that of brother Hopestill were recorded in Wilmington, VT. Lydia died in 1852, possibly in New York. The research you do to prove descent by means of vital records, wills, probate records, etc. might turn up the missing information. See Deborah's writeup above for the Howland-Tilley line and Lydia's write-ups in the Warren & Brewster sections for those proposed lineages. From Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), p. 556. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

FOSTER, VOLNEY

Father of Volney Wiliam, below, brother of Harvey, son of Hopestill, and grandfather of Eva and Albert, all above, Volney Foster (1816-1893) is in the same genealogical boat as the others: first prove Hopestill. If you can, his Howland-Tilley line runs: Hopestill Foster, Deborah (Bangs) Foster, Deborah (Chipman) (Nickerson) Bangs, John Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See Albert and Hopestill's write-ups for more. Image and info from Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago: Conkey, 1899), pp. 631-2. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library. A larger photo would be appreciated.

FOSTER, VOLNEY WILLIAM

Possibly a Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley, Volney William Foster was born in Aztalan, Jefferson Co, WI in 1848 and later moved to Illinois. He was the son of Volney, grandson of Hopestill, and father of Albert Volney and Eva Cornelia Foster, above. See Hopestill, above, for this familys "issues." And remember, the Mayflower Society will want you to document this line, regardless of whether your people are in a book or not.

FRENYEAR, THOMAS CYPRIAN

Thomas (b 1865 VT) died in 1903, an electrical engineer in Buffalo, NY, leaving a widow and three children who resided in Saybrook, CT when the book from which the picture was taken was written. Thomas's maternal great grandfather was Rufus Allen, above, making him a Gen 10/11 Howland-Tilley. His line runs: Ellen Lucretia (York) Frenyear, Alvina (Allen) York, Rufus Allen, Robert, Joseph Allen, Mercy (Skiff) (Coffin) Allen, Mercy (Chipman) Skiff, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland, Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley, all of the Mayflower. The last few generations are unconfirmed by any vital records I have found, but his marriage to teacher Emma L. Chase in 1893 merited a news item on genealogybank.com. Reportedly a Harvard graduate, he should not be hard to document. Image and info from Orrin Peer Allen, Allen Memorial.

FULLER, WAYLAND STUART

He probably has more than just a Gen. 11/12 Howland-Tilley lineage but it's a start. My point was the source of the photo: the US Customs Service Coastwise Identification Cards issued by the U.S. Treasury Dept. I wish I could remember where I found this database! Wayland was a 24-year-old when this card was issued in 1918, born in Edgartown (Martha's Vineyard), MA. His ship was the Just Right, based in Vineyard Haven. The card says that his hair was brown, his eyes gray, medium complexion, and 5'8", slightly taller than average. The NEHGS database made it possible to search his ancestry and assuming I have all his ducks lined up in the correct row, his Howland-Tilley line is: Andrew B. Fuller, Jr., Maria (Fisher) (Tilton) Fuller, Obed Fisher, Eunice (Coffin) Fisher, Elizabeth (Norton) Coffin, Mary (Daggett) Norton, Elizabeth (Hawes) Daggett, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (and her parents). The birth of Elizabeth Norton is the last of this lineage in the Picton Press Howland blue books, vol. 1.

GOODSPEED, ADIN ISAAC, CLARA BALLOU, LUCY MAUD, & LUTHER GEORGE

Sorry about the cockeyed picture sizes. They are all the same in the book from which I got them & look slightly better on the Thomas Rogers page. These siblings, born 1856, 1858, 1860, and 1863 (respectively) in Massachusetts, were children of George Nutting Goodspeed of Hubbardston and Autantia Ballou, according to the book. To follow these lines you need to be aware that both females married and their surnames changed to Corey (Clara B.) and Cowee (L. Maud.) They are Gen. 9/10 Howland/Tilley via a great grandmother, Ann Jenkins. The line runs as follows: George Nutting Goodspeed, Isaac, Isaac, Ann (Jenkins) Goodspeed, Benjamin Jenkins, Lydia (Howland) Jenkins, Joseph Howland, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus her parents. There is also a Gen 10 Thomas Rogers line; see that section for the lineage. The Howland silver book part 3 gets as far as the birth of the second Isaac (these siblings' grandfather) and then says to see the Goodspeed biography for additional descendants so it must be considered reliable.

GOODSPEED, GEORGE NUTTING; HARRISON PARKER; & HENRY CLAY

These three are brothers (George N. b 1826; Harrison P. b 1830; Henry C. b 1832, all in Hubbardston, MA) and George is the father of the 4 siblings above: Adin, Clara, Lucy, and Luther Goodspeed. See the 4 siblings above for this Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley line and see their Rogers writeup for that one & this trio's Rogers writeup for more info on the family. Image and info from ​Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, etc. (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp. 121, 359, 371, 397-8, 400, 403, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Library.

She and her brother John Abbott Goodwin both wrote about the first LeBaron immigrant, apparently with different explanations for his arrival. Mary Jane (1831-1894) wrote under her married name, Austin, if you want to look them up. She and her brother were Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley, Gen. 7 Bradford, Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 8 Standish, Hopkins, and Warren descendants, Mayflower through both parents, who were distant LeBaron cousins. Mary Jane's Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: Elizabeth (Hammatt) Goodwin, Abraham Hammatt, Lucy (Howland) Hammatt, Consider Howland, Thomas, Joseph, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Howland Silver Book 23 Part 1 gets through the marriage of Lucy Howland to Abraham Hammatt and the Bradford Silver Book gets through the birth of their grandchild Elizabeth Hammatt. Vital records on the NEHGS site have the birth of her father, their marriage, and her birth in Worcester, where the family had moved from Plymouth. See her Bradford and Warren write-ups for those lines. This image is credited as a photo provided by Mary Jane's daughter, Lilian Ivers (Goodwin) DaSilva, circa 1890 would be my guess.

Gorham, Nathaniel

Born in Charlestown, 1738, to Nathaniel and Mary (Soley) Gorham of Barnstable and Nantucket, respectively, he is a Generation 6 descendant of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, Generation 7 of John and Joan Tilley. He is the great-grandfather of Brooks Adams, above, but is better known as a signer of the U.S. Constitution, among other accomplishments. The birth of Nathaniel is in the Howland Blue Book, volume 1. This is a Charles Wilson Peale photo painted when the sitter was about 55. Image reprinted here courtesy of the National Park Service.

GORHAM, ROBERT STETSON

If I write "The GSMD does not accept DAR or SAR papers as proof" enough maybe people will stop sending me DAR and SAR application forms as Mayflower documentation. The DAR's GRS database online can show you what someone else has proven, then you go get those same documentsand submit THOSE (only.) I found Robert in a Stetson Kindred publication (he was named for the immigrant) and knew that a Gorham from New England was likely a Howland-Tilley. I found Robert & his mother's DCs on the NEHGS site but then the family vanished into the wilds of NY state, VT, and the early-mid 1800s. Fortunately several ladies, including Robert's sister, had applied to the DAR via a patriot named Seth Gorham and I do find that Seth, albeit with a question mark next to his first name, in John Howland of the Mayflower, vol. 1 (Gorham), as the child of Ichabod Gorham and Sarah Barlow of Fairfield, CT (where Seth resided during the Revolution.) There were multiple Gorhams there who married Barlows and Seth named a son "Barlow" so I think the question is whether or not he was specifically Ichabod and Sarah's son. For now, we will call Robert Stetson Gorham his great grandson, which makes this an image of a Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley. Robert's line runs: Daniel D. Gorham, Eli, Seth, Ichabod, Joseph, Jabez, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image from Nelson M. Stetson, Stetson Kindred of America (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), p. 5, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

GREEN, FREDERICK WARREN

Sixth child of Richard Green, below, born 1813, Frederick was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 7 Warren descendant. He was the brother of William Webb Green, James Wilson Green, and Sidney Green on this page. See Richard's writeup for the lineage. Image and info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 21, 32, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREEN, JAMES WILSON

Fourth child of Richard Green, below, born 1809, James was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 7 Warren descendant. He was the brother of Frederick Warren Green, William Webb Green, and Sidney Green on this page. See Richard's writeup for the lineage. Image and info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 21, 31, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREEN, RICHARD

If you are a descendant of this man you are eligible for another lineage group: U.S. Daughters of 1812 (women) or General Society War of 1812 (men). Capt. Richard is in the Warren Silver Book, v. 3, as a Gen 6 descendant but he was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley descendant as well. He was called "Capt." in the book from which this "photo-gravure from painting" was taken because he commanded a Connecticut militia unit during what has been called "the second war of independence from Britain." Richard was related to the other Green/Greenes on this page, as you can tell from his Howland-Tilley line: James Green, Desire (Bacon) Greene, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower.. See his Warren writeup for that line. Image from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 20, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREEN, SIDNEY

Fifth child of Richard Green, above, born 1811, Sidney was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 7 Warren descendant. He was the brother of Frederick Warren Green, James Wilson Green, and William Webb Green on this page. See Richard's writeup for the lineage. Image and info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 21, 31, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREEN, WILLIAM WEBB

Third child of Richard Green, above, born 1807, William was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 7 Warren descendant. He was the brother of Frederick Warren Green, James Wilson Green, and Sidney Green on this page. See Richard's writeup for the lineage.

GREENE - MUNSON FAMILY

Each of these four is described in an individual writeup but this family portrait may be useful for those seeking family resemblances because (a) it's a photo of a family in which both parents were Howland-Tilley descendants via Gorham and (b) everyone but Marshall is about 14 years younger in this photo than they are in their own writeup. Left to right: Marshall Winslow Greene (b 1870 NYC), Mary Gertrude (Munson) Greene, Edna Munson Greene (b 1874 NYC), Richard Henry Greene. Image from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), p. 762, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

GREENE, CORA WILLEY

All of the Greenes/Greens in the book from which this image was taken are Warrens at the least, because their progenitor, William Greene, married Elizabeth Warren, granddaughter of the pilgrim. The Warren Silver Book details this as well as some earlier intermarriages with Edward Fuller, Howland-Tilley, and other lines. Cora's Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley line runs: Oliver Greene, Oliver, James, Desire (Bacon) Greene, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See her Warren writeup for those 8 generations. All this assumes that the data on the next 2 generations is correct, namely that Cora was born in Boonville, MO (west of St. Louis) in 1841 to Oliver of East Haddam, CT (son of Oliver, Sr. b. East Haddam 1773) and wife Georgian Marguerite Rohr of MD, and they settled in St. Louis. Cora was said to have married Thomas A. Morris, b. NY 1831, so some vital records could be under the name "Cora Morris." Image and some info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 51, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREENE, EDNA

Distant cousin of Cora, above, and Julia, below, Edna Munson (Greene) Holbrook was like them a Howland-Tilley and Warren thanks to the circumstances described in Cora's writeup. Edna, b. NY 1874 and thus about 30 in this digitized gelatin photo, was daughter of one of the founders of the New York Mayflower Society and organizers of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (as member #1 and first Historian General.) A sharper scan of this image would be much appreciated; a younger Edna is shown in the "Greene - Munson Family" writeup above. Photo and info comes from one of his books and was augmented with references to Silver Books, John Howland of the Mayflower, and vital records from the NEHGS site. Edna's Gen. 10/11 Howland Tilley line runs: Richard Henry Greene, William W., Richard, James, Desire (Bacon) Greene, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. She is a 3rd cousin once removed from Cora. Image and some info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 84, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREENE, JULIA

See distant cousin Cora Willey Greene (above) for Warren details. Julia is a Generation 10/11 Howland-Tilley as well as a Generation 9 Warren thanks to the son of the progenitor marrying first a Howland-Tilley. Julia's Howland-Tilley line runs: Asaph L. Greene, Russell T., William, William, Desire (Bacon) Greene, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Howland-Tilley book gets only to the birth of William #3 but the Warren book gets to William #4 (presumed father of Russell T. Greene.) A better image of Julia would be much appreciated. If you are a relative of Julia Greene Bell (Mrs. William Edwin Bell of York, NE), you will need to prove Russell and Asaph. Image and some info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 72, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

GREENE, MARSHALL WINSLOW

Son of Richard Henry Greene, below, and brother of Edna Munson Greene, above, Marshall was a Gen. 9 Warren and Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley. This is from a group image printed in 1895, when he would have been 25. See Edna's writeup for lineage details. It would be worthwhile looking for another Pilgrim line given his middle name but Edward Winslow left far fewer descendants than his brothers. Image from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), p. 762, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

GREENE, RICHARD HENRY

Father of Marshall Winslow and Edna Munson Greene, both above, Richard was a Gen. 8 Warren and a Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley. These images were taken roughly 14 years apart, since one book was printed in 1895 and the other 1909 (and Edna does look older in the later and has acquired a husband and child.) Richard would have been about 45 in the first photo and nearly 60 in the latter. You can read more about him in his daughter Edna's writeup, but Richard's line runs: William W., Richard, James, William, Elizabeth (Warren) Greene, Nathaniel Warren, Richard of the Mayflower. Images and some info from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), pp. 730-32, 733-34, 740, 751, 762, digitized by the Allen County Public Library and from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), p. 72, digitized by the Boston Public Library. Yes, this is the same Richard Henry Greene.

Guild, Curtis Jr.

Curtis Guild, Jr. is cited in an issue of the New England Historical Genealogical Register as having joined the Massachusetts society of the GSMD as a Generation 9 descendant of John Howland (and Elizabeth Tilley, Gen. 7 from John & Joan Tilley.) This may have been through his mother Sarah Crocker Cobb and her Taunton, Massachusetts ancestors. The Guild family was very active in journalism, historical and cultural societies such as the NEHGS, and Boston and MA politics. Curtis, Jr. served as the lieutenant governor and governor of Massachusetts. This photo was probably taken between 1896 and 1902 when he became active in national politics in support of friend Theodore Roosevelt. He would have been about 36-42. The image is taken from A History of the Town of Freetown, Massachusetts, with an Account of the Old Home Festival, July 30th 1902 (Fall River: Franklin, 1902), p. 271, digitized by the Library of Congress.

HASKINS, CHARLES WALDO

I am very glad the compiler of this book included the specific ancestor through which Charles was a Howland-Tilley, or I never would have found it. The DAR's GRS database was helpful, too, because there are some very old applications that included descendants of "Honest John" Haskins, a Son of Liberty according to the author (who probably got his info from Charles, and Charles from family oral tradition.) Old DAR applications had dates on them (but not places), which helps one figure out which person is most likely to be in a silver book. Charles turned out to be a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley as follows: Waldo Emerson Haskins, Thomas, Robert, Hannah (Upham) Haskins, Hannah (Waite) (Upham) Cook, Lydia (Sargeant) Waite, Lydia (Chipman) Sargeant, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Vol. 3 of John Howland of the Mayflower gets as far as the birth of Hannah (Upham) Haskins and explains the probate documents that you will find on the NEHGS site. (There was more than one Phineas Upham and more than one Hannah.) Image and some info from Mitchell C. Harrison, comp., New York State's Prominent and Progressive Men, vol. 2(NY: NY Tribune, 1900) p. 148, digitized by the Library of Congress.

HAWES, JOHN

Captain John (1768-1824) is a Gen. 6/7 Howland-Tilley and his birth is noted in John Howland of the Mayflower Vol. 1 (Desire Gorham.) The book has no birth dates but fortuitously Bristol County has had active historical societies for some time and John's granddaughter, Rebecca Williams Hawes, wrote a paper on him and it was published in a journal, along with an image of what must have been a painting of John. His was quite the New England orphan, rags-to-riches story and is worth reading. It is available for download on Internet Archive. Descendants might qualify for membership in the U.S. Daughters of 1812 and the General Society War of 1812. John's line runs: Shubael Hawes, Benjamin, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image and info from Rebecca Williams Hawes, "John Hawes," in Old Dartmouth Historical Sketches No. 22 (New Bedford, 1908) pp. 3, 7, digitized by the Library of Congress. A kind reader scanned the hardcover edition there to produce the image on the left, which is sharper and less yellowish than the digitized picture.

HAWES, JOHN A., JR.

Grandson of Captain John, above, John A. (1823-1883) of Fairhaven, MA was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley. A scan that I could enlarge or a better image of John A., Jr. would be welcome but we are lucky to have this, as it was taken in 1866, when he was 43 and not 103. It was part of a group photo. John A., Jr. was a Harvard graduate who served in the Civil War, as a state senator, and as commander of the state GAR organization so there may be additional pictures to be found. Image and info from Z. W. Pease, "'The Blues' - A New Bedford Social and Literary Organization," in Old Dartmouth Historical Sketches No. 50 (New Bedford, 1920) pp. 15, 20 and his identification as the grandson of Captain John is from Rebecca Williams Hawes, "John Hawes," in Old Dartmouth Historical Sketches No. 22 (New Bedford, 1908) p. 12. Both volumes were digitized by the Library of Congress.

Hawes, William Chase

Son of Capt. William T. Hawes, below, William C. (b. 1868 New Bedford) was a triple Generation 8 & twice Generation 9 Howland-Tilley. Four of his 5 Howland lines were via Desire (Howland) Gorham, the fifth via Hope (Howland) Chipman. His mother was Ann M. Eldredge (1833-1910), whose background is not examined here. See his father's entry for Howland-Tilley details. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1185, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Hawes, William T.

Capt. Hawes (1819-1887), a whaling master of South Dartmouth, was a triple Generation 7 and twice a Generation 8 descendent of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, all 3 lines via daughter Desire (Howland) Gorham. This is the same line as Nathaniel Gorham, above, whose granddaughter and great-grandson also appear on this page. His grandfather Ebenezer, the 3rd of 5 Ebenezers in this Hawes line, married two Howland cousins, and had children with the second, Temperance Taylor, daughter of Anne Gorham and William Taylor. Capt. William's mother was also a triple Howland descendent, via her father (William Thacher, Judah, Lydia Gorham, Desire (Howland) Gorham) and her mother Thankful Hedge, whose mother, Mary (Gorham) Hedge, was a double Howland descendent (James, James, Desire (Howland) Gorham) and (Mary Joyce Gorham, Elizabeth Chipman, Hope (Howland) Chipman). This last was the only 1 of his 6 lines not via the Gorham marriage. Ebenezer 3rd, Temperance and one son, Prince Hawes, and mother Thankful (Thacher) Hawes are all mentioned, albeit separately, in John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 1. the book from which this photo is taken has Thankful's age at death incorrect, confusing her with her mother, Thankful (Hedges) Thacher. Capt. William gets my vote as Person Most Likely to Look Like his Pilgrim Ancestor, with 2nd place going to Charles P. Taber a Generation 77, 8, & 9 Cooke (or possibly his son William Chase Hawes, above.) Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 3 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 1184, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Dr. Howland was a double Howland-Tilley descendant, both a Gen. 7 & 8, and appears to have been named for his father's brothers Asa and Allen, who are also listed in the Conway MA VRs. The birth of his father, known as John Howland, Jr. is in the blue John Howland volume and the second line gets as far as the marriage of his great grandparents, Job Howland and Hannah Jenkins in the silver volume 23, part 1. Asa, his parents, and grandparents all lived in Conway, so this was easy to confirm online and to confirm what the book from which this poorly scanned image was taken. (My apologies, but it's better than nothing.) Asa's lines run: John Howland, Jr., John, Job, John, John, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley; also John Howland, Jr., John, Hannah (Jenkins) Howland, Benjamin Jenkins, Lydia (Howland) Jenkins, Joseph Howland, pilgrims John & Elizabeth. Image and info from Franklyn Howland, A Brief Genealogical and Biographical History of Arthur, Henry, and John Howland and their Descendants of the United States and Canada (New Bedford: author, 1885) pp. 388-9, digitzed by the Allen County (IN) Public Library. Franklyn, pictured below, also wrote a volume on the history of Acushnet, MA.

HOWLAND, CHARLES ALLEN AND CHARLES ALLEN, Jr.

Gen. 7 & 8 descendants of pilgrims John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley, this pair is approximately ages 56 and 8 in this image. (A better quality scan would be appreciated.) The father, a bookbinder-turned-insurance-exec was from Worcester, MA and the son was born in Quincy. The age difference is due in part because Jr. and a sister were the products of a second marriage. Charles, Sr. had no children by his first wife. Their line runs: Southworth Allen Howland, Southworth, Job, John, John, John and Elizabeth of the Mayflower. This makes Charles, Sr. and Asa Allen Howland, above, second cousins, and means that Charles & son are also double Howland-Tilleys as: Southworth Allen Howland, Southworth, Hannah (Jenkins) Howland, Benjamin Jenkins, Lydia (Howland) Jenkins, Joseph Howland, pilgrims John & Elizabeth. The births of both Charleses can be found on the NEHGS. The blue Howland-Lee book (Picton Press), which can be obtained from the GSMD, gets as far as Charles' father but notes that Southworth Allen was sometimes called "Southward" Allen and Southworth, his father, was not only called "Southward" but "Southwick." Besides being a place not far from London, Southwick was the surname of a family of early Quakers punished, jailed, expelled, and immortalized in prose. To the best of my knowledge Southworth, Sr. was not a relative of the Southwicks, who by then were in NY and RI.

HOWLAND, FREEMAN PARKER

A shoemaker turned minister turned insurance salesman, Rev. Freeman P. Howland (b. 1797 Sandwich) would very much appreciate having a better image of himself uploaded. He was a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley and had eight children, none by his first wife, a Warren descendant. His line runs: William, Zacheus, Jabez, Shubael, John, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (plus her parents, all 4 of the Mayflower.) His birth to William Howland & Aurelia Yost is on the NEHGS. Descent from William should make you eligible for the U.S. Daughters of 1812 or General Society of the War of 1812, both of which commemorate America's "second Revolutionary War." (Note: these are lineage societies, not reenactors.) According to the author of the book from which the image comes, William was an impressed seaman, held until 1815, the year the War ended and prisoners held in Canada & England were exchanged. Image & info from Franklyn Howland, A Brief Genealogical and Biographical History of Arthur, Henry, and John Howland and their Descendants of the United States and Canada (New Bedford: author, 1885) pp. 345-6, 362, 386-8, digitzed by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

HOWLAND, GEORGE

George (b. Conway, MA 1824) of Chicago was a double Howland-Tilley (Gens. 7/8 and 8/9), as his paternal grandmother was herself a Howland descendant via son Joseph Howland, which you will find in John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 2. It includes the birth of George's father William Avery Howland in 1794. That is a little farther than the Howland silver book Vol. 23, Part 1, which ends with the marriage of Hannah Jenkins & Job Howland, William's parents. George's Gen. 7/8 line runs: William Avery Howland, John, Job, John, John, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower and his Gen. 8/9 line runs: William Avery Howland, John, Hannah (Jenkins) Howland, Benjamin Jenkins, Lydia (Howland) Jenkins, Joseph Howland, John & Eizabeth again. George is in the MA VRs which you can access on the NEHGS. A little info and this image from William W. Johnson, Records of the Descendants of Thomas Clarke, Plymouth 1623-1697 (North Greenfield, WI: author, 1884), pp. 47, 48, 96, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

HOWLAND, HENRY ELIAS

I am putting this out of order to avoid breaking up Frank and his two sons, immediately below, the purpose of this site being to look for family resemblances. The difficult part of proving this Gen 7/8 Howland-Tilley lineage was finding the great-grandfather mentioned in the book from which this image was taken: Rev. John Howland of Carver, MA. His VRs and probate docs are on the NEHGS site but imagine looking for a "John Howland" in a Howland book. The wife's name, Elizabeth, was no help, either. It turns out that Rev. John was the 4th John in a row and is in John Howland of the Mayflower Vol. 2 along with all the children and the very last one, Charles, turned out to be the father of the other ancestor mentioned, Aaron Prentiss Howland of New Hampshire. Aaron and parents did indeed live in Walpole, NH. Close enough, as most NH VRs are not online. Henry Elias Howland's (b 1835) lineage runs as follows: Aaron Prentiss/Prentice Howland, Charles, John, John, John, John and Elizabeth of the Mayflower. Image and info from from Mitchell C. Harrison, comp., New York State's Prominent and Progressive Men, vol. 1 (NY: NY Tribune, 1900) p. 184, digitized by the Library of Congress.

HOWLAND, [Albert] FRANKLYNThe author of the book from which this photo was taken was a Gen. 9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 10 Allerton & Cooke on his mother's side, thanks to Washburn marriages with Mayflower descendants. His Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: Lucy P. (Washburn) Howland, Israel Washburn, Lettice, Moses, Hannah (Cushman) Washburn, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. He was the grandson of Israel Washburn and father of Leroy and Max, below. For his Cooke & Allerton lines, see the writeups in those sections. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), frontispiece, p. 271, 364-66, digitized by the Library of Congress.

HOWLAND, LEROY ALBERTSon of Franklyn Howland (above) and brother of Max Franklyn Howland (below), Leroy (b. Acushnet 1879) was said to have been a Samuel Fuller descendant as well as a Gen. 10 Howland-Tilley and Gen. 11 Allerton and Cooke descendant. When I can figure out how, I will post something in that section. He was also a great-grandson of Israel Washburn on this page. See Franklyn and Israel's writeups for more detail. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 310-11, digitized by the Library of Congress.

HOWLAND, MAX FRANKLYNSon of Franklyn Howland and brother of Leroy Albert Howland (above), Max (b. Acushnet 1881) was said to have been a Samuel Fuller descendant as well as a Gen. 10 Howland-Tilley and Gen. 11 Allerton & Cooke descendant. When I can figure out how, I will post something in that section. He was also a great-grandson of Israel Washburn on this page. See Franklyn and Israel's writeups for more detail.

HOWLAND, WILLIAM ISRAEL

Brother
of Franklyn, uncle of Leroy and Max, all above and son of Lucy
Washburn, grandson of Israel Washburn, both below, William was a Gen. 9 Howland-Tilley and Gen. 10 Allerton and Cooke. For a time he was in business with his uncle (actually his mother's half brother), William Henry Washburn, also below, before setting out on his own grocery business. See Franklyn's writeup in these sections for the lineage. A better quality scan would be welcome.

LeBARON, FRANCIS

Apothecary General of the United States 1813-1821, the last person to hold the office, Francis was a Surgeon's Mate or Surgeon in both the Navy and the Army from 1800 onwards, thus serving during the War of 1812. This officer was in charge of all medications and surgical supplies for all branches of the military. His commissioning or service was presumably the occasion for the miniature reproduced in this book, thus Francis (1781-1829) would have been in his thirties. He died unmarried. Francis's Gen. 6 Howland-Tilley line was through his mother, as follows: Martha (Howland) LeBaron, Consider Howland, Thomas, Joseph, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Howland Silver Book 23 Part 1 gets through the marriage of Francis's parents, Martha Howland and Isaac LeBaron, and the Bradford Silver Book gets through the birth of Francis himself. See his Bradford writeup for that line. He is a 1st cousin twice removed of Mary Jane (Goodwin) Austin (1831-1894), above, but he died 2 years before her birth. Image and info from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 21-22, 30-31, digitized by the NY Public Library.

Lodge, Henry Cabot

According to an article on the NEHGS web site, U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924) of Boston was a generation 9 Howland-Tilley descendant via the Chipmans. For the full line of descent, see "#55, Royal Descents, Notable Kin, and Printed Sources: Notable Descendants of Henry and Margaret (---) Howland of Fentanston, Huntingdonshire, Parents of John Howland of the Mayflower," by Gary Boyd Roberts, Feb. 2002, reprinted at http://www.americanancestors.org/john-howland-mayflower/. Mysteriously, the NEHGS does not say in which of their publications this article appears, so hopefully the link will work even for nonsubscribers. The photo of Henry is from Who's Who in State Politics (Boston: Practical Politics, 1908), p. 6, digitized by the State Library of Massachusetts. If you look him up on wikipedia you will also see a painted portrait of Henry, owned by the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. You apparently have to go to Washington to see it, as a search of the NPG's site turns up hits but the only actual image shown is a very small group photo with Henry.

LUCAS, HORATIO ATWOOD

Horatio A. (1827-1887), the only child of Harvey Lucas & Sarah Atwood, held various town & Baptist church positions and had the good fortune to be from Carver, MA, where the town records from the early 1800s are full of chatty details. The same is true of Plympton, to which Carver had earlier belonged. He was a distant cousin of Eben D. Shaw, below, and a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley and a Gen. 9 Allerton & Billington via his mother, Sarah Atwood. He was a Gen. 8 Warren through his father. His Howland-Tilley line runs: Sarah (Atwood) Lucas, Patience (Cobb) Atwood, Hannah (Cushman) Cobb, Robert Cushman, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See his Billington, Warren, & Allerton writeups for those lineages. The Howland silver book vol. 23 Part One gets this line the farthest, to the Marriage of Hannah Cushman & John Cobb. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 272, digitized by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Vital records from the NEHGS.

MACGURN, STANLEIGH WINSLOW

Like several other young men whose photos are on this site, Stanleigh passed away at a young age but was memorialized in print by loved ones. He was the nephew of Cora Willey Greene, above, and thus a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley and a Warren descendant as well. Stanleigh left no heirs. He was born in Toronto, ON in 1884 and died at Yale University in 1904. His line ran: Fannie R. (Greene) Macgurn, Oliver Greene, Oliver, James, Desire (Bacon) Greene, Mary (Hawes) Bacon, Desire (Gorham) Hawes, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image and info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), pp. 53, 91, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

MACK, LUCY

Lucy (Mack) Smith would be best known as the mother of LDS founder Joseph Smith, Jr. but she is noticed here as a Gen. 7 descendant of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley plus Edward Fuller. The first line runs through son John Howland as follows, from Lucy to her pilgrims: Lydia (Gates) Mack, Lydia (Fuller) Gates, Hannah (Crocker) Fuller, Hannah (Howland) Crocker, John Howland, John & Elizabeth of the Mayflower. The Howland book follows the line through Lydia's parents but she is also alluded to in the discussion of the husband's will, as "daughter Lucy Mack." See the Edward Fuller writeup for that line. There are many images of Joseph online and in books for your perusal but another son, Hyrum Smith, is shown on this page, below. Wikipedia has an entry for Lucy but it appears to be a color photo of the same image here. This image and some information comes from Evelyn M. Wood Lovejoy, History of Royalton, Vermont with Family Genealogies 1769-1911, Part 2 (Burlington, VT: Town of Royalton & the Royalton Woman's Club, 1911), pp. 644-6, digitized by the New York Public Library, image scanned from LOC paper copy by Sarah M.

McBRIER, DAVID NYE & FREDERICK BELL

The book with the images of these brothers names their mother as Mary Elizabeth White, daughter of "Hon." D. N. White and that she was a descendant of William White of the Mayflower. People born in the mid 1800s in Pittsburgh are far enough removed from Plymouth Rock in place and time that they should be congratulated for even knowing they were Mayflower descendants. However, I found no link to the Mayflower Whites, just to the Howland-Tilley family. That Gen 10/11 line runs: Mary Elizabeth (White) McBrier, David Nye White, Abigail (Nye) White, Desire (Thacher) Nye, Rowland Thacher, Desire (Sturgis) (Dimmock) Thacher, Temperance (Gorham) Dimmock, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland, wife Elizabeth and Tilley in-laws, all 4 of the Mayflower. David (b. Pittsburgh 1856) and Frederick (b. 1873) were both businessmen and left descendants. Image & info from John Elmer Reed, History of Erie County, Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 (Topeka: Historical, 1925), pp. 532-5, digitized by the University of Pittsburgh. Somehow I learned that the copyright had not been renewed, which is why I used a book less than 100 years old.

MORTON, LEVI PARSONS

As Vice President of the United States under Benjamin Harrison, U.S. Congressman representing Manhattan, U.S. Minister to France, and Governor of New York, Vermont native Levi P. Morton had his photograph taken and his portrait taken in various poses and with various whiskers and with white hair as well as dark. You can see some of those on wikipedia. He was a Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley descendant as follows: Daniel Oliver Morton, Livy Morton, Sarah (Cobb) Morton, Thankful (Thomas) Cobb, Lydia (Howland) Thomas, John Howland, John Howland + Elizabeth Tilley + her parents, all of the Mayflower. He was also a Hopkins and a Soule descendant; see those sections for those lines. John Howland of the Mayflower, Vol. 2 gets as far as the birth of Livy Morton. Image and info from Josiah Granville Leach, Memoranda Relating to the Ancestry and Family of Hon. Levi Parsons Morton, Vice-President of the United States (1889-1893) (Cambridge: Riverside Press, 1894), p. 68 and frontispiece, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

MUNSON, ALBERT LEROY

Brother of Mary Gertrude, below, Albert was like her a grandchild of Charles and a child of Edwin, also below. He was an uncle of Marshall and Edna Greene, both above. His Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley line can be seen in Mary Gertrude's writeup. Image and info from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), p. 734, 751 digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

MUNSON, CHARLES

This is the grandfather of Mary Gertrude Munson, below, and a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley. Charles (1792-1879) was a War of 1812 veteran, shoemaker, and farmer. The author of the book from which this image was taken says he also had a shoe store with a brother, Francis, in New Berne, NC, though he resided in CT. His line runs: Joseph Kirk, Joseph Kirk, Mary (Gorham) Munson, Joseph Gorham, Joseph, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See Mary Gertrude's writeup for more details. Fold3.com has him in Sanford's Regt. of the CT militia but has not gotten as far as the "M's" yet in their digitization of the pension records.

MUNSON, EDWIN BEACH

Son of Charles, above, and father of Mary Gertrude, below, Edwin (1817-1879) was a Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley. See Mary Gertrude's writeup for details.

MUNSON, EDWARD BENJAMIN

Son of Edwin Beach and grandson of Charles, above, Edward (b. 1854 NH) was the brother of Albert (above) and Mary Gertrude (below), thus a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley descendant. For details on his lineage, see his sister's writeup. Image and info from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), p. 752, 763, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

MUNSON, HARVEY SPERRY

Also a son of Edwin Beach and grandson of Charles, above, Harvey (b. 1857 NH) was the brother of Albert & Edward (above) and Mary Gertrude (below), thus a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley descendant. For details on his lineage, see his sister's writeup. Image and info from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), p. 752 digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

MUNSON, HENRY THEODORE

Like Albert, Edward, and Harvey, above, Henry Theodore Munson (b. 1844, CT) was a son of Edwin Beach and grandson of Charles, also above, and a brother of Mary Gertrude (below), thus a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley descendant. For details on his lineage, see his sister's writeup. Image and info from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), pp. 744, 751 digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

MUNSON, MARY GERTRUDE

A Generation 10/11 Howland-Tilley descendant, Mary Gertrude (b. 1846, CT) had the luxury of a live-in genealogist, her husband Richard Henry Greene, a founder of the NY Mayflower Society and the GSMD. He seems to have been reasonably accurate because the lineages I have used from his several books have turned out to mostly match those in John Howland of the Mayflower, v. 1, and are cited there. Her two surviving children, Marshall and Edna, are on this page under "Greene," along with their father. (Both parents were Howland-Tilley descendants.) Likewise several Munson brothers and Mary Gertrude's father and grandfather are on this page. Mary Gertrude (Munson) Greene's line runs: Edwin (not Edward) Beach Munson, Charles, Joseph Kirk, Joseph Kirk, Mary (Gorham) Munson, Joseph Gorham, Joseph, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Note that John Howland of the Mayflower ends with the birth of the first Joseph Kirk Munson. Edwin and Charles were personally known to Greene, leaving to our trust only the second Joseph Kirk. Image and some info from Richard Henry Greene, Greene (Green) Family of Plymouth Colony (NY: privately printed, 1909), pp. 51, 88, digitized by the Boston Public Library. Other info, particularly on the 2 Joseph Kirks, comes from Myron Andrews Munson, The Munson Record 1637-1887: A Genealogical and Biographical Record of Captain Thomas Munson (A Pioneer of New Haven) and his Descendants, vol. 2 (New Haven: Munson Association, 1895), pp. 730-32, 733-34, 740, 751, 762, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

The Hon. Sewall Pettingill, a Generation 8 Howland-Tilley descendant via daughter Ruth Howland rote a book about his experiences in VA, NC, SC, and FL as a soldier-musician in Co. F, 11th Regt., Maine Volunteers and later served in numerous town and county offices. Although the book from which this photo comes does not mention Mayflower connections, his grandmother was Lydia (Cobb) Pettingill of Bridgwater, Plymouth County, MA and the Cobbs married into many Mayflower families. In this case, she was a Generation 6 Howland and Generation 7 Billington and Allerton via her mother, Hannah (Cushman) Cobb, who is in those 3 Silver books. (Howland is vol. 23, part 1.) The name Cushman should alert you to Allerton, and the Silver Books very helpfully point out other pilgrim lines. Sewall is a Generation 8 Howland-Tilley and a Generation 9 Billington and Allerton. Photo and info on Sewall, his parents, and grandparents from History of the Town of Wayne, Kennebec County, ME (Augusta: Maine Farmer Publishing, 1898), pp. 236-7. Digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

PIDGEON, ETHEL & LILLIAN

I believe this is Ethel (b. 1880) on the left and her sister Lillian (b. 1883) on the right. The images are from a group photo that did not identify family members individually but there were only the two sisters and the one on the left looked slightly older. They and their siblings are all Gen 10/11 Howland-Tilley via their father's maternal grandmother. This is one of the rare Mayflower lines from an ancestor who emigrated to what would later be "the South" in the 1600s or early 1700s. James Chipman (b MA 1694) was in Delaware by 1744, where his younger brother Perez Chipman had moved by 1732. That Perez removed to Maryland by 1740, and James's son Perez settled in Guildford, NC around 1775. This pilgrim line met up with the Pidgeons in NC in the mid-1800s and later moved to Ohio, which was more sympathetic to pacifist Quaker abolitionists. The sisters' Howland-Tilley line runs: Henry H. Pidgeon, Catherine (Horney) Pidgeon, Jeffery Horney, Mary (Chipman) Horney, Perez Chipman, James Chipman, John, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (plus her parents.) John Howland of the Mayflower Vol. 3 gets you to the birth of Mary (Chipman) Horney. Image and info on the last 4 generations from Albert J. Brown, History of Clinton County, Ohio, its People, Industries, and Institutions (Indianapolis: Bowen, 1915), pp. 756-8, digitized by me from a book donated by R. Robinson. Ethel's married name was Hughes and Lillian's was Painter, so look for ancestors with those surnames.

PIDGEON, HENRY H.

​Father of the group, Henry H. Pidgeon, is a Gen. 9/10 Howland-Tilley. See the writeup of Ethel and Lillian, above, and of Oscar, Homer, & Willard, below, for more details. The woman to Henry's left is likely his second wife, Ella F. McKay. Image and info on the last 4 generations from Albert J. Brown, History of Clinton County, Ohio, its People, Industries, and Institutions (Indianapolis: Bowen, 1915), pp. 756-8, digitized by me from a book donated by R. Robinson.

PIDGEON, OSCAR, HOMER, & WILLARD

I believe the brother in the center is Homer (b. 1885) and the brothers on the sides are his, Ethel, and Lillian's half brothers Oscar (b. 1894, left) and Willard (b. 1895, right). See the sisters' writeup for the lineage. I could be wrong, though, as the male and female to the right resemble each other and the other two young men seem to favor Mrs. Pidgeon. All three males are Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley since the line runs through their father, Henry H. Pidgeon. Image and info on the last 4 generations from Albert J. Brown, History of Clinton County, Ohio, its People, Industries, and Institutions (Indianapolis: Bowen, 1915), pp. 756-8, digitized by me from a book donated by R. Robinson.

PIDGEON, JULIA

Alphabetically Julia comes before Oscar but I didn't want to split up the family group and also am not sure who's who in the Pidgeon Family photo above, except for Henry. Julia is his sister. Her Gen. 9/10 line, like Henry's, runs: Catherine (Horney) Pidgeon, Jeffery Horney, Mary (Chipman) Horney, Perez Chipman, James Chipman, John, Hope (Howland) Chipman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Some of the folks in these images have a resemblance around the nose & mouth, but whether those are Howland or Tilley noses & mouths I do not know. Image and info from Albert J. Brown, History of Clinton County, Ohio, its People, Industries, and Institutions (Indianapolis: Bowen, 1915), pp. 552 & 553, digitized by me from a book donated by R. Robinson.

POPE, FRANKLIN LEONARDInventor, electrical engineer, patent attorney, writer, and explorer Franklin Pope is only very distantly related to Silas Pope, below. He was a Gen. 9/10 Howland Tilley and very interested in history, having written a shorter version of the book from which this image was taken and another on the establishment of the western boundaries of MA. He also wrote numerous books & articles related to his work, some of it with Thomas Edison (with whom he invented the stock ticker & thus by proxy the ticker tape parade.) The "explorer" part comes from having been on the job developing routes for a planned overland San Francico-to-Moscow telegraph line in the 1860s. Franklin died at age 54 but did leave 3 children. A web site about the history of the telegraph has an image of a much younger Franklin that it reprinted with the permission of the family, but I do not have permission so click on the link in this sentence to see it. He looked very different, sandy-haired and beardless. The Engineering and Technology Wiki has a picture of Franklin a few years later, still with sandy hair but the beginnings of a beard and chunkier, beneath a grainy photo of him probably in his 50s. Franklin's Howland-Tilley line, documented in John Howland of the Mayflower v 1 through the birth of his great-grandmother Martha, runs as follows: Ebenezer Pope, Ebenezer, Martha (Bacon) Pope, Lydia (Lothrop) Bacon, Experience (Gorham) Lothrop, James Gorham, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley + parents. This image and lineage info from Dora Pope Worden, Wm. F. Langworthy, Blanche Page Burch, Genealogy of Thomas Pope (1608-1683) and His Descendants, with a Preliminary History by the Late Franklin Leonard Pope (Hamilton, NY: Republican, 1917), frontispiece and pp. 27-28, digitized by Cornell University Library.

POPE, SILAS

Silas was a Gen. 9 Howland-Tilley descendant plus a Cooke, twice, an Allerton, and a Warren thanks to his mother's Taber father and Washburn mother. His Howland-Tilley line runs: Rhoda D. (Taber) Pope, Mercy (Washburn) Taber, Lettice Washburn, Moses, Hannah (Cushman) Washburn, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. He is a close relation of Israel and William Henry Washburn and of Franklyn, Leroy, and Max Howland on this page. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 333-34, 365, digitized by the Library of Congress.

PRESTON, OTHNIEL

Sometimes referred to as "Othaniel", this New Yorker was named for his paternal grandfather who served in the Continental Line during the Revolutionary War. However, it is through his mother that he was a Gen. 8/9 Howland-Tilley descendant. The line runs: Mary (Gorham) Preston, Josiah Gorham Jr, Josiah, Stephen, John, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley plus her parents, all Mayflower passengers. John Howland of the Mayflower vol. 1 gets you through the birth of Josiah Jr., then land & probate records pick up with the widowed Mary and transactions with her children, then of Steuben County, in the 1850s but what's missing is better documentation of Mary Gorham, daughter of Josiah Jr., having married James Preston, son of Othniel, circa 1820, probably in Washington County, NY. I have yet to see a vital record, land record, or probate document for that. Image from Millard Fillmore Roberts, Historical Gazetteer of Steuben County, New York, with Memoirs and Illustrations, Part First (Syracuse: Roberts, 1891), p. 386, digitized by Cornell University Library.

REMICK, JAMES WALDRON

Some family members, including the brother with whom he was in business, spelled the surname Remich. James (b. 1860) was a Gen. 8 Howland-Tilley via his mother, who was from Vermont. The line runs as follows: Sophia (Cushman) Remich, Clark Cushman, Paul, Joshua, Robert, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. He was also an Allerton and Soule due to Cushman marriages. (Those lineages are in given in his other writeups.) The Howland Silver Book, Vol. 23, Part 1, gets as far as the marriage of James's great-grandparents, Paul Cushman and Anna Parker. James was U.S. attorney, the youngest ever appointed from NH at the time (30) and would have been no older than 37 at the time of this photo. Info from James R. Jackson, ed., History of Littleton, New Hampshire, V.3 (Cambridge, MA: University Press, 1905), pp. 153 and 412 (genealogy compiled by George C. Furber) but the image is from J. H. Walbridge, comp., "A Historical Sketch of Littleton," supplement to the White Mountain Republic Journal, V. 31, No. 16 (Littleton: Cooper & Sparrow, 24 Dec.1897), n.p. Both were digitized by the Library of Congress. As always, a sharper photo would be welcome.

ROGERS, HENRY HUTTLESTON

Henry, a Generation 9 Howland and Tilley, would be easy to miss. His grandfather Abishai Rogers, a New Bedford merchant, married Judith Cushman of Rochester (Cephas, Joshua, Robert, Thomas) in 1806 and her surname says "Allerton." The Allerton Silver Book is where you will learn that he is also a Soule. The Soule Pink Book reveals that he is also a Howland and Tiley. All three Pilgrim lines are via grandmother Judith Cushman. Henry works out to be a Generation 9 Allerton and 8 Soule (twice). He does not appear to be a Thomas Rogers descendant. See his Allerton entry for a lot more detail and advice and his Soule entry for a description of his double descent. Some data and image from Federal Writers' Project, Fairhaven, Massachusetts (1939), end of book & biographical information from pp. 33-34. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.

SHAW, EBEN D.

His full name was "Ebenezer" and he was doubtless named for his maternal grandfather, Ebenezer Dunham. Born in Carver, MA in 1823, Eben was definitely a Howland-Tilley & an Allerton on his father's side (and a distant cousin of Horatio A. Lucas, above), but may have even more Mayflower lines on his mother's side. The issue there is why the "Prissilla" (Morton) (Dunham) Robbens who was the daughter of Elisha Morton & Elizabeth Mitchell, per her death record, is not listed as a child of Elisha Morton & Elizabeth Mitchell in the Alden book Part 2. It shows 2 children but apparently Elisha & Elizabeth left a very scant paper trail thereafter - or there is another couple by the same name. The 1790 census shows a hashmark that could be "Prissilla" but another issue is that Elisha's sister married someone of the same name as Prissilla's husband. For this to work we need to rule out incest. But I digress! Eben's Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley line runs: Joseph Shaw, Joseph, Hannah (Perkins) Shaw, Ruth (Cushman) Perkins, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & the Tilleys of the Mayflower. See his Allerton writeup for that line. Image, dob, and parents (no maiden name for the mother) from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), pp. 208, 284, digitized by U MA Amherst. The Allerton silver book gets to the birth of Hannah Perkins and the Howland silver book (vol. 23) includes her marriage to Nathaniel Shaw. The vital records on the NEHGS site includes good parent and some grandparent data to fill in the rest. ​

SHERRETT, WILLIAM LAWRENCE

Born in Carver, MA in 1859, William must have been brilliant, with a law degree and an MD both, but he died young from that absolute scourge of 19th and early 20th century New England: tuberculosis (aka consumption.) He died in Florida in 1890, unmarried, and his one sibling had died in childhood so this line ended there. There may be photos of him in Harvard Medical College, Georgetown University, and Washington, D. C. Bar Association records if you are interested in looking for commonalities among Howland-Tilley and/or Allerton family members. William was a Gen. 10/11 Howland-Tilley. It takes both the Shurtleff and Savery family histories to figure out his line, partly because the two families intermarried a lot but also because the silver books end fairly early in his case, with the birth of Hannah Perkins in 1723 and her undated marriage to Nathaniel Shaw. Here is William's Howland-Tilley line: Mary Thomas (Savery) Sherrett, William Shurtleff Savery, Olivia (Shurtleff) Savery, Mary (Shaw) Shurtleff, Hannah (Perkins) Shaw, Ruth (Cushman) Perkins, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See the Allerton section for that lineage. Image & info from Benjamin Shurtleff (6th), Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts, vol. 1 (Revere, MA: 1912), pp. 61, 63, 109, 115, 230, 500, digitized by the New York Public Library and A. W. Savary & Lydia A. Savery, A Genealogical and Biographical Record of the Savery Families, etc. (Boston: Collins, 1893), pp. 88, 94, digitized by the University of Toronto Library.

SMITH, HYRUM

Son of Lucy Mack, above, Hyrum was a Gen. 8 descendant of John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley and of Edward Fuller via his maternal grandmother. He was born in Tunbridge, VT in 1800 and did leave descendants. See his and/or Lucy's E. Fuller writeup for that lineage. Wikipedia has a different image for Hyrum, what looks like an undated pencil sketch by an unknown artist. The image here comes from the same source as Lucy's, and like hers is a black & white image of a color oil painting made prior to 1911. A recent scan of a paper copy of this book at the Library of Congress (vs the digital download) seems to show son and mother with brown eyes. However, it's not clear whether these were painted from life.) See Evelyn M. Wood Lovejoy, History of Royalton, Vermont with Family Genealogies 1769-1911, Part 2 (Burlington, VT: Town of Royalton & the Royalton Woman's Club, 1911), pp. 644-7, digitized by the New York Public Library, image rescanned at the LOC by Sarah M.

SOUTHWORTH, THOMAS

Thomas (1810-1878) was a Gen. 9 Chilton but a Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley, and that means you can get a little farther using the GSMD silver book, vol. 23, Part 1 than you can with the Chilton book. Specifically, you can get to his grandfather Gideon. The NEHGS has VRs of Carver online and that gives you Thomas's birth. Since there is a big gap in the online vital records where his parents should be, I figured he was from Middleboro and that proved correct. If you join a lineage society on this family, you will need to make that jump using other sources. The book from which this image was taken apparently ran it only because the author had it. Thomas Southworth is mentioned here and there, typically on lists of people, but there is no writeup about him or his clan. Knowing who else was in Carver, I found a family history for a neighbor and sure enough, there he was, due to the intermarriage one finds in the 1600s & 1700s. Starting with his father, Thomas's Howland-Tilley line runs: Thomas Southworth, Gideon, Gideon, Jael (Howland) Southworth, Isaac Howland, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (and parents), all 4 of the Mayflower. (And you can claim all 4 lines via supplemental applications.) There may be more Pilgrims in his line; it is particularly worth checking the maternal Haskins and Haskell lines. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of Carver Massachusetts, Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 238, digitized by the U MA Amherst Library. Helpful info from Benjamin Shurtleff (6th), Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts, vol. 1 (Revere, MA: 1912), p. 625, digitized by the New York Public Library.

THACHER, GEORGEBarnstable judge George Thacher (1754-1824) was a Generation 6/7 Howland-Tilley. Note that the artist has included a pair of eyeglasses in his hand; as though to imply he could afford them but did not need them in order to see right through you. John Howland of the Mayflower, vo1. 1 (Gorham) gets as far as the birth of George, noting that his father Peter, a lawyer and son of a judge, was leaving him 6 pounds to pay for his education at Harvard. George's Howland-Tilley line is thus: Peter Thacher, Thankful (Sturgis) Thacher, Temperance (Gorham) (Sturgis) Baxter, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland (both passengers on the Mayflower, as were her parents John Tilley & Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley. Lineage info on George's entire clan (siblings, cousins, uncles, etc.) are in the book from which this engraving was taken, immediately before and after the picture. Image in Frederick Freeman, The History of Cape Cod: The Annals of Barnstable County, Including the District of Mashpee, vol. 1 (Boston: Rand & Avery, 1858), p. 622, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Tinkham, Andrew Wood

Son of the Amasa Tinkham born 1782 in Middleboro, Massachusetts to John and Mary (Wood) Tinkham, Andrew was a resident of Maine from childhood. He was a Generation 7/8 Howland-Tilley, a Generation 8 Cooke, and a Generation 8 Brown. Two lines are from marriages of Andrew's great-great-grandfather John Tinkham to Hannah Howland, a Generation 3 pilgrim descendant and the marriage of the original Tinkham immigrant, Ephraim, to Mary Brown (daughter of pilgrim Peter). The Cooke link comes from the marriage of that John's father, Ephraim Tinkham (Jr.) to Esther Wright, daughter of Hester (Cooke) Wright, daughter of pilgrim Francis Cooke. The Brown and Howland Silver Books get as far as Amasa's parents and note a deceased older brother of John named Amasa. From there the Middleborough Vital Records available on the New England Historic Genealogical Society get you to the birth of the younger Amasa, which is where the book cited here picks up. Image from Kingsbury & Deyo, Illustrated History of Kennebec County Maine (NY: H. W. Blake, 1892), p. 804, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

TOWNSEND, CATHARINE AUGUSTA

Assuming the book with this photo is correct, which I believe it is, Catharine (1823-1902) was a double Howland-Tilley through each parent. Her first Gen 9/10 line would run: Solomon Davis Townsend, Elizabeth (Davis) Townsend, Solomon Davis, Mehitable (Dimmock) Davis, Desire (Sturgis) Dimmock, Temperance (Gorham) Sturgis, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland + Elizabeth Tilley and her parents. Her second line, also Gen 9/10, was: Catherine Wendell Davis (Townsend), Edward Davis, Solomon Davis, Mehitable (Dimmock) Davis, Desire (Sturgis) Dimmock, Temperance (Gorham) Sturgis, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland + Elizabeth Tilley and her parents. Catharine was born in Boston but lived much of her life in New York City, dying in Rye, NY, as did her husband Edward Standish Sherman (1818-1882). Image and info from Thomas Townsend Sherman,Sherman Genealogy, including Familes of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, England, some Descendants of the Immigrants Captain John Sherman, Reverend John Sherman, Edmund Sherman, and Samuel Sherman, and the Descendants of Honorable Roger Sherman and Honorable Charles R. Sherman(NY: Tobias A. Wright, 1920), 232, 295-6, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

Shown left to right, above, the 5 Walsh brothers from New York City are Howland-Tilley descendants and nephews of Allen Henry Brown, above. Listed from oldest to youngest, they are: James (b. 1842), Alexander (b. 1846), Silas (b. 1851), Edward (b. 1855), Henry (b. 1860). Only Silas and Henry left children, unless the others had offspring after this book was published, and Henry wound up in St. Paul, MN so look there for his 2 sons.Their Gen 9/10 Howland-Tilley line runs: Emily Maria (Brown) Walsh, Silas Brown, Sarah (Cobb) Brown, Henry Cobb, Lois (Hallett) Cobb, Elizabeth (Gorham) Hallett, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. Image & info from Cyrus Henry Brown, Brown Genealogy of Many of the Descendants of Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown, Sons of Thomas and Mary (Newhall) Brown of Lynn, Mass., 1628-1907, vol. 1 (Boston: Everett, 1907), pp. 19, 401, 402, 409-10, digitized by the Library of Congress. See Allen's writeup for more info on the book.

Wardwell, Daniel

Judge Daniel Wardwell's complete Howland-Tilley line is traced in the Howland Silver Books, v 23, parts 1 & 2. He appears on pg 335 as a Generation 6 descendant via Jabez Howland, son of John and Elizabeth. His wives and children are enumerated as well and the source is the same one this picture comes from: Daniel E. Wager, ed., Our County and Its People, a Descriptive Work on Oneida County, New York (The Boston History Company, 1896), p. 97, part II. Digitized by the University of California Libraries.

WARREN, WINSLOW

Lawyer Winslow Warren (b 1838, Plymouth) had 9 multiple Mayflower lines via both parents: Howland-Tilley, Doty (twice), Brewster, Alden-Mullins, Warren (6 times), White, and Winslow (twice). (See the other sections for those lines.) His Gen 8/9 Howland-Tilley line runs: Winslow Warren, Mary (Winslow) Warren, Joanna (White) Winslow, Joanna (Howland) White, Thomas Howland, Joseph, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley (plus her parents) of the Mayflower. A combination of the relevant silver books will get you to this Winslow Warren's grandparents, then vital records on the NEHGS get you the rest of the way. Image and info from Conrad Reno, Memoirs of the Judiciary and the Bar of New England for the Nineteenth Century, with a History of the Judicial System of New England, Vol. I (Boston: Century Memorial, 1900), p. 169, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

TOWNSEND, CATHARINE AUGUSTA

Assuming the book with this photo is correct, which I believe it is, Catharine (1823-1902) was a double Howland-Tilley through each parent. Her first Gen 9/10 line would run: Solomon Davis Townsend, Elizabeth (Davis) Townsend, Solomon Davis, Mehitable (Dimmock) Davis, Desire (Sturgis) Dimmock, Temperance (Gorham) Sturgis, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland + Elizabeth Tilley and her parents. Her second line, also Gen 9/10, was: Catherine Wendell Davis (Townsend), Edward Davis, Solomon Davis, Mehitable (Dimmock) Davis, Desire (Sturgis) Dimmock, Temperance (Gorham) Sturgis, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland + Elizabeth Tilley and her parents. Catharine was born in Boston but lived much of her life in New York City, dying in Rye, NY, as did her husband Edward Standish Sherman (1818-1882).

Sherman (NY: Tobias A. Wright, 1920), 232, 295-6, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

WASHBURN, FRANCIS P.

His grandfather, John S. Washburn (1784-1842), was a brother of the Rev. Israel, below, also by parents Lettice Washburn and 2) Sarah Spooner. That line was not discussed in the book from which this photo was taken, but the vital records on the NEHGS site match with the name and birth year of the son John listed for Lettice & Sarah, and John S. and his wife Desire Ormsby/Armsby are buried in the same cemetery. Francis has the same Pilgrim lines as Israel, just "moved down two" to Gen. 9 Howland-Tilley and Gen 10 Allerton & Cooke. His Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: Reuben Washburn, John S., Moses, Hannah (Cushman) Washburn, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. See his Cooked and Allerton writeups for those lines. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 364, 368, digitized by the Library of Congress.

WASHBURN, ISRAEL

A better quality image or at least a scan of a paper copy of this book would be appreciated. Grandfather of Franklyn Howland, above and father of William Henry Washburn, below, Rev. Israel was a Gen. 7 Howland-Tilley and Gen. 8 Allerton and Cooke on his mother's side, thanks to Washburn marriages with Mayflower descendants. His Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: Lettice Washburn, Moses, Hannah (Cushman) Washburn, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. The Howland Silver Book, Vol. 23, Part 1 (not the blue books by Picton Press) get this line the farthest, to the marriage of Israel's grandparents, Moses Cushman and Sarah Pope. For his Cooke & Allerton lines, see the writeups in those sections. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 271, 364-5, digitized by the Library of Congress.

WASHBURN, LUCY PETERSON

A
daughter of Rev. Israel, above, half sister of William Henry, below, mother of Franklyn Howland, above, and grandmother of his two sons Max and Leroy, also above, Lucy
was a Gen. 8 Howland-Tilley and Gen. 9 Allerton and Cooke. (See Israel's writeup for the lineage.) If you are looking for her you may have to search by her married name, Howland. She was the wife of Stephen R. Howland, a descendant of John Howland's brother Henry. A great many Henry Howland descendants were Quakers, and seem to have married into Mayflower families less than one might expect because observant Quakers limited their choice of marriage partners to others of the same religion. Image and info from Franklyn Howland, A Brief Genealogical and Biographical History of Arthur, Henry, and John Howland and their Descendants of the United States and Canada (New Bedford: author, 1885) pp. 266, 269-70, digitzed by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

WASHBURN, WILLIAM HENRYSon of Rev. Israel, above, William was a Gen. 8 Howland-Tilley and Gen. 9 Allerton and Cooke, thanks to Washburn marriages with Mayflower descendants. His Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: Israel Washburn, Lettice, Moses, Hannah (Cushman) Washburn, Robert Cushman, Ruth (Howland) Cushman, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. For his Cooke & Allerton lines, see the writeups in those sections. Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 271, 364-5, digitized by the Library of Congress.

WESTON, THOMAS

Thomas, whose 1770 birth is in the Howland, Cooke, and Brown/Browne silver books, was a descendant of John Howland and the Tilleys, Francis Cooke, and Peter Browne/Brown via his mother and George Soule through his father. His Gen 5/6 Howland/Tilley line runs: Mary (Tinkham) Weston, Hannah (Howland) Tinkham, Isaac Howland, John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley of the Mayflower. According to the Howland and Brown silver book entries, descendants are also eligible for Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) & Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) plus Daughters of Founders & Patriots of America, the Order of the Founders & Patriots of America, and Colonial Dames of the XVII Century, all except that last group due to the military service of Thomas's father, Edmund Weston, Jr. of Middleborough, in the American Revolution. Image, birth place & date from the book by his descendant, also Thomas Weston, History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1906), p. 380, digitized by the Library of Congress.

WINSLOW, EDWARD JR.

Father of John F. W. Winslow, below, Edward was a Gen. 5/6 Howland-Tilley and a Gen 5 Winslow. (See that section for the lineage and other info.) The caption for this drawing reads: "From a portrait by Lequa, of Canton, in possession of Edward Pelham Winslow" but is undated. Edward was born in Plymouth in 1746, probably in the beautiful house that is today headquarters of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. (Click on "Mayflower Society House" and take a virtual tour.) He and his father, both Harvard-educated lawyers, were Loyalists during the Revolution and the younger Edward served in the British army and was officially banished 1778. He later moved to Nova Scotia, then settled in New Brunswick, his father Edward dying in NS, his mother Hannah (Howland) (Dyer) Winslow dying in NB. His Howland-Tilley line runs: Hannah (Howland) (Dyer) Winslow, Thomas Howland, Joseph, John and Elizabeth plus her parents John Tilley and Joan (Hurst) (Rogers) Tilley, all 4 Mayflower passengers. The Howland silver book notes Edward's birth and marriage but that is all. The Winslow book has much more detail, as does the book from which this drawing was taken. Image and some info from W. O. Raymond, ed. Winslow Papers, Vol. 2 (St. John: NB Historical Society, 1901), pp. 7-9, 705, digitized by me.

WINSLOW, JOHN FRANCIS WENTWORTH

Named for his godfather, family friend (and governor of Nova Scotia) Sir John Wentworth, he was described by the author of the book from which this image was taken as "precocious" because at age 9 or 10 he was already acting occasionally as his secretary to his father, Edward Jr. (above.) He became a military officer at age 14 and went on to a career in law and public service in New Brunswick. Born there to a Loyalist family in 1793, he died there at age 66, and my guess is that this image was made in the last decade of his life, or at least no younger than age 39. The caption notes that he was High Sheriff of Carleton Co, NB and the text states that he held that position from 1832 to 1856, then was reappointed in 1857 for a short time. He died in 1859. He and Warren Winslow, top of the page, are the only two Winslows whose real hair we can see. Working backwards, Sheriff John's Gen. 6/7 Howland-Tilley line would run: Edward Winslow, Hannah (Howland) (Dyer) Winslow, Thomas Howland, Joseph, John Howland and the Tilley family of the Mayflower. See his Winslow writeup for that Gen 6 lineage. (His birth is in the Winslow silver book but not in Howland.) Image & info from W. O. Raymond, ed. Winslow Papers, Vol. 2 (St. John: NB Historical Society, 1901), pp. 5, 9-10, 646, digitized by me.

WOOD, WILKES

You run across the Hon. Wilkes Wood of Middleborough (1770-1843) a lot in genealogical research in SE MA because he was judge of probate for so long. Through his mother Wilkes was both a Howland-Tilley & Priest descendant and he married a Tinkham, a Thompson, and a Cushing, so look for addtional (Cooke, Browne) descendants along his line. Wilke's Gen 6/7 Howland-Tilley line runs as follows: Sally (Bennett) Wood, Ruth (Gorham) Bennett, Shubael Gorham, Desire (Howland) Gorham, John Howland & the 3 Tilleys of the Mayflower. See the Priest section for that Gen 7 line. The Priest silver book gets as far as the marriage of his parents but John Howland of the Mayflower v1 includes Wilkes' birth. (It would be nice to have a photo; please get in touch if you know of one.)

Image scanned by me from original at the LOC.

WOOD, CHARLES WILKES, JOSEPH TINKHAM & WILLIAM HENRY (left to right)

Like their father Wilkes Wood, above, all 3 brothers were Howland-Tilley & Priest descendants as well as double Cookes through their mother, Elizabeth Wild (Thomson) Wood. All were born in Middleborough. William (1811-1883) and Joseph (1818-1890) spent their adulthood there but Rev. Charles (1814-1895) lived various places in MA. See Wilkes' writeup for their Gen. 7/8 Howland-Tilley lineage.
